Can't wait to pick up my copy after work today

 

[Motorskills]

The Sunless Citadel - 22 pages
The Forge of Fury - 26 pages
The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan - 34 pages
White Plume Mountain - 14 pages
Dead in Thay - 54 pages
Against the Giants - 46 pages
Tomb of Horrors - 17 pages

In terms of time units, does the page count mostly match (i.e. that Dead in Thay will take four times as long as White Plume Mountain)?

If not, which are the longer(est) and shorter(est) adventures.

Cant wait to pick up my copy after work.

No mention of Artus or the Ring in that Room 107 of Dead in Thay.

Got my copy and did a cursory page through. From what I noticed it seems very true to the source modules I'm familiar with. Thanks, WotC!

Here's the million dollar question though...did they leave ToH as deadly as ever, or is it watered own for today's audiences?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Jeremy says in the video that they didn't really change anything for any of the adventures. That being said, given how hard it is to kill a PC in 5e, especially a high level one, it may not be as deadly as it was before.

Looks like the Book Depository's finally lost the plot. They're asking NZ$101.77 (US$71.60) for Tales from the Yawning Portal! Talk about price gouging. I might have to order from Amazon instead for once. (Usually the added shipping from Amazon makes the Book Depository's prices cheaper but definitely not this time ... With the current pre-order price, buying it from Amazon, with shipping, will only come to about NZ$70 for me.)

I'm curious about the Neried and the Siren's stats and the Ooze Master, the rest of the book doesn't interest me, but I'm happy for those who will enjoy this!

Decided to splurge and pick up the limited edition REAS yawning portal t-shirt and D&D mug, finally, Ive been wanting this mug since I saw Chris Perkins delicate mouth sipping from it.

Anyone else did the Meltdown Shopping Network livestream??

 

[Mad_Jack]

Yes! The return of the Giant Crayfish!!!!

I have loved those things since 1st Ed... Or was it BECMI that had one in a module? I only remember that I got epically curb-stomped by one somewhere, lol.
