When the shadows grow long in Waterdeep and the fireplace in the taproom of the Yawning Portal dims to a deep crimson glow, adventurers from across the Sword Coast spin tales and spread rumors of lost treasures.

Within this tome are seven of the deadliest dungeons from the history of Dungeons & Dragons. Some are classics that have hosted an untold number of adventurers, while others are newer creations, boldly staking a claim to their place in the pantheon of notable adventures.

The seeds of these stories now rest in your hands. D&D’s deadliest dungeons are now part of your arsenal of adventures. Enjoy, and remember to keep a few spare character sheets handy.

For use with the fifth edition Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master’s Guide, this book provides fans with a treasure trove of adventures, all of which have been updated to the fifth edition rules. Explore seven deadly dungeons in this adventure supplement for the world’s greatest roleplaying game:

  • Against the Giants
  • Dead in Thay
  • Forge of Fury
  • Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan
  • Sunless Citadel
  • Tomb of Horrors
  • White Plume Mountain

Find it on WotC's site here. Forbes has an interview about it here. Mearls says "We're announcing a new D&D product, a book coming out this spring. It is called Tales from the Yawning Portal(out March 24th in local game stores and April 4th everywhere else) It's a collection of seven of the most famous dungeons from Dungeons & Dragons history. They're all collected in one hardcover book. The idea behind it is not only do you want to capture some of the most famous dungeons from the game's history, but we also wanted to give a selection of adventures that you could in theory start at Level 1 with the first dungeon and play all the way up to Level 15 by playing the adventures one after another."

So they use the good old Yawning Portal in the title to suck in the Realms fans only to find that only one of them is a Realms adventure.

If you are going to use the Yawning Portal why not just go ahead and use the biggest dungeon that sits under it and already has an entrance right there in the room?

Sorry Wizards but your cross-overs are getting more ridiculous by the second.



Laugh Sorcerers Apprentice laughed with this post

????????

This wasn't a joke post so I'm not sure what you are laughing with. You do realize that it doesn't say "laugh at" anymore?

What's the Yawning Portal?

The inn in the Realms that has the main entrance to Undermountain in its basement.

Wasn't there a playtest D&D Next adventure with this name, or am I misremembering?

From the Forbes article it sounds like that's probably it. Mearls says just the dungeon will be part of this collection and not whatever other "broader campaign" elements that were around it.

This is awesome!

But the world was a harsher place back then. Are players today ready for the TPK and other deaths that will happen in Tomb of Horrors and Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan?

Getting killed by a trap is so impersonal and soul less. RIP my first character, a halfling thief. I'd say his bones are still in the Tomb of Horrors, but, if I recall, a sphere of annihilation got him, so he's just. . . . gone. =(

Are you serious? Dude, they literally gave you what you've been spamming these boards asking for and you're complaining about it?

The Yawning Portal is a tavern in Waterdeep that was established by Durnan who was an adventurer. He, Mirt the Moneylender, and a few others, went in Undermountain (a giant dungeon under Waterdeep) and found lots of riches. He retired and took over the Yawning Portal. There is a giant well in the tavern that leads down into Undermountain.

No they didn't!!!! They gave me what I already have and I'm sure they plan on lumping them all into the Realms which means they will become part of the canon.
