3 out of 5 rating for Tales from the Yawning Portal
The adventures in this book are old time classics, but they also had some well known flaws in their design and this was the perfect opportunity to "fix" them.
They were "just" converted to 5th edition.
This way the "old" players already have the old editions adventures (and it's not too difficult to convert them, especially knowing them inside out by heart as is often the case) and the "new" players are disappointed by the (very well known...) design flaws that nowadays are even more glaring than at the time. A lose-lose situation, unfortunately.
