[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 7064540, member: 54629"] Indeed. As I may have said here (or perhaps it was elsewhere) already, I think the Yawning Portal would've worked better as framing device for an actual Undermountain book. The section on the inn even talks about the cost of going down the well and how you have to either prepay or send your money in a bucket first before Durnan will let you come back up ... and yet none of the adventures contained in the book have anything to do with Undermountain at all. It's not like you have to descend into Undermountain to find portals to these other dungeons or something. It's a wasted opportunity, really. If they ever *do* get around to doing an Undermountain campaign, I wouldn't be surprised if they just copy/paste the YP parts from this book. I did not check every single bit of treasure, but the ones I did look at in both Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury were either identical or very close to the originals. These early adventures at least will definitely come across as real Monty Haul adventures compared to the new 5e ones. [/QUOTE]
