For use with the fifth edition Player's Handbook®, Monster Manual®, and Dungeon Master's Guide®, this book provides fans with adventures, magic items and deadly monsters, 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

    I was brand new to D&D in 4e when my friend ran his own campaign. When 5e came out, a different group of friends wanted to play D&D, but I was the only one with any prior experience, so I became the DM. We've been going through the 5e starter set, and as they are finishing that up, I'm looking for the next step for their characters. The standard published campaigns are somewhat problematic in that they all start at level 1. If your players want to keep playing the same characters (up to level 20, or whenever they die), its going to take a bit of work on your part.

    Enter Tales From the Yawning Portal. I have not personally run my players through any of the adventures yet, but I have read through each one pretty extensively. The way they are set up is brilliant, and even as a new DM it seems that they will be very easy to run. Tyranny of Dragons has a good story from what I've read through, but it doesn't seem to be set up in a way that is easy to DM, with a lot of fill work required on your part.

    Tales is a little different however from the other full campaigns in that they are meant to be sprinkled in bigger campaigns/adventures, not necessarily stand on their own as one over-arching campaign. That being said, you can do that, as the levels of the adventures compliment each other; the first one is 1-3, the second 3-5, then 5-8, etc. There won't be any over-arching story, but that doesn't matter too much. My personal plan is to run Horde of the Dragon Queen next (I will have to modify it as my characters are level 4) and when they are done with that, I will run them through one of the Tales adventures before moving onto part two of Tyranny, Rise of Tiamat. I had already bought those books, and their characters tie in nicely with the story. For the most part though, I can't wait to get to the Tales adventures. After the full campaign is done, I might run them through Tomb of Horrors, the last adventure in Tales. I am doing that last, because of the looks of it, it will kill them.

    The last thing I wanted to mention about Tales from the Yawning Portal is that the adventures feel very much like they were taken from past editions, but that's not a bad thing. I have several AD&D books that I've skimmed through, and the adventures seem very similar in terms of traps, puzzles and choices the characters can make. Also, most of the adventures seem, at least to me, that they are deadlier than the current 5e lineup. Many sections require smart thinking on the part of the players, not something that is easy to hack and slash their way through with min-maxed characters. The last adventure, Tomb of Horrors, looks especially devious. It was originally created by Gary Gygax himself, as a way to humble even his strongest players. These adventures are tough, but look to be extremely rewarding for those who survive.

    All in all, this is a solid, easy to use product that adds much needed content beyond first starting level. I highly recommend it.

    I'm the family dungeon master. We aren't the most experienced group, but we've gone through Lost Mines of Phandelver, Dragon of IceSpire Peak, Curse of Strahd, and we're on the second adventure in Tales of the Yawning Portal. We're running the adventures consecutively as a campaign, and, so far, this has been our favorite book. My wife says the pacing feels like a book of short stories vs Curse of Strahd being more like a novel. The dungeons are challenging, have unique mechanics, great roleplay opportunities, and are just really fun.

    I've incorporated downtime activities in between modules. So when a session ends with a finished module, the next session starts with the characters each having had 30 days of downtime where they can decide how they spent their gold to improve their characters in various ways. This makes acquiring monetary treasure a lot more exciting than it was in Curse of Strahd where there was little opportunity to spend money. Then it's pretty easy to insert a new adventure hook where the characters get back together as a party to go tackle a new challenge

    I loved roleplaying Meepo the kobold in The Sunless Citadel, and the encounter with the white dragon wyrmling was memorable. The magic whistle that summons an undead is also a really cool magic item that the party is putting to good use, and they're carefully keeping track of when it recharges. In forge of fury, I had a blast controlling the duergar who can turn invisible and enlarge themselves. The succubus is great too. So far, the party is very suspicious of the damsel in distress oddly holed up in the middle of the dungeon, and they've resisted her attempt at charming one of them. They haven't quite figured out exactly what she is, though, and she told them some lies that they bought ;) We usually play once a week, but, after last session 2 days ago, everyone was excited to play again, and we're playing again this evening.

    I don't know why everyone says Curse of Strahd is by far the best 5e adventure. While it was definitely great, we are enjoying Tales of the Yawning Portal much more.

    So mine was slightly damaged in shipping, but I didn't care enough to get it replaced. It's not the sellers fault, but I want to disclose everything.

    The illustrations are nice. The book is bound well. Both are very standard for a WoC 5e book. The writing in it is concise and clear and the Sunless Citadel has been fun. This is a decent book for a new DM with little experience to pick up and run.

    My biggest complaint is that the numbering on the map isn't clear and I'm not sure how they decided to organize the rooms. It appears to be in a sequence that the party might follow, but you may need to flip around a lot. In the past I've tried running out of the abyss, and it was a difficult campaign to run. So I was expecting it. Please note that this book is much better laid out, and is accessible for new DM's.

    I would like it, if a creature came up in the book, it would include a reference to where the stat block could be found. Either in the Monsters Manual, or in this book. Though this could be written off as a lack of preperation on my part.

    Overall it has been fun running this with my group and I would recommend it for inexperienced DM's. Just remember preparation is advised.

    Tales from the Yawning Portal is not just a blast, it’s a blast from the past!

    I’ve been playing Dungeons and Dragons off and on since the early 80’s when my friends and I would play adventures all day and into the night! This is a great game and I honestly love it. This book is a compilation of adventures from those heady early days when my biggest concerns were how to afford more pizza, get gas for my car or what Alison sitting across from me in the lunch room was thinking…. This book bridges 5th edition with those amazing adventures that are now considered classics! Tomb of Horrors, White Plume Mountain and Against the Giants were some of my favorites and here they are now ready to be enjoyed again with a new generation. Am I gushing much? This book isn’t just for old nostalgic guys like me, but would be loved by newer players. I can’t say enough good about this book! Very glad they brought these “classics” back into the limelight!

The entertainment is high with use of other campaign books.

    Excellent choice for 5E games. Suggestions are included for multiple settings. Great adaptations of some of the classic modules from early editions.

    I have only been DMing since February (2024) and my party wanted to try these dungeons out.
    I do not run the game directly from the book as I find it's too story like for me to run the game smoothly if I haven't read through and made notes.

    My players have both loved and hated the Sunless Citadel...many TPKs. I think they went through 4 characters each (a total of 16 characters) before they finished. To be fair, they made some poor decisions.
    We have yet to start on the next campaign.

    Aventuras clássicas, mas muito dentro daquele padrão antigo de dungeon crawling

    Excelente para ter ideias e fazer um homebrew em cima das propostas do livro. Alguns pedaços são incríveis, outros nem tanto.

    Muy buenas aventuras de ediciones anteriores, buena manera e presentar retos a jugadores. Se requiere de bastante imaginación para unir las aventuras en una campaña pero a mí parecer es mejor usar estás aventuras para complementar otras campañas.
