[QUOTE="buzzardoftheages, post: 7706511, member: 6791184"] This is exactly my situation. In my group two of us are running home brew campaigns, I am running Curse of Strahd, and another player is going to be a DM for the first time using Out of the Abyss tomorrow night. We try to meet once a week and we rotate so prep work can be spread out to fit within our busy lives. I own a copy of Storm King's Thunder but it will be months before we consider running that one. Kobold Press's Book of Lairs has helped fill a couple of lulls in the home brew campaigns already and Tales from the Yawning Portal looks like another great fit for our group, either for one-shots when not all of us can get together or to plug a hole in one of our campaigns when things get stale. I played AD&D and 2E with a solid group in middle/high school in the late 80's and early 90's, then stopped for a long time after we all went to different colleges. Over the years I thought about scratching that itch again but not having a core group of like-minded friends nearby (as well as that 3.5/Pathfinder/4E/Essentials "wall of books" Mearls mentioned) discouraged me from picking up the hobby again. The D&D Next playtest is what pulled me back in, and the slow publishing schedule has allowed me to keep up without straining the bank account. While I do own a few of these old modules in pdf form, I prefer holding a book in my hands and 5E's style really appeals to me. Tales from the Yawning Portal clearly isn't for everybody but I am firmly in their target audience. [/QUOTE]
