To cap it off, if your characters have made it to 13th, 14th level, and hopefully you're not too attached to them because the final adventure in the collection is the Tomb of Horrors. It's this enormous sort of mad house built by the Red Wizards of Thay, so this kind of gives you a chance to dive into a classic mad wizard's dungeon.
We decided to just take the dungeon from Dead in Thay and place that in this book. There's an adventure called Dead in Thay, which featured this really huge dungeon and everyone who played it thought the dungeon was great, but it was kind of part of a broader campaign. There's White Plume Mountain, there's Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, and then there's a newer adventure, actually we drew from the period when we had announced Fifth Edition, we were doing playtests. If you played back in the early '80s and late '70s, you might recognize some of these titles. Then beyond those two, when you get more into mid-levels, we have a couple of adventures from AD&D. The first two, for low-level characters, there's the Sunless Citadel and the Forge of Fury, and if you played Third Edition you might remember those as the first two adventures released for the 3.0 version of the game. The adventures span almost every edition. We want a nice broad range of levels to give DMs (Dungeon Masters) content they can drop into their campaigns, either to extend something, say if you finish Storm King's Thunder and your character's Level 10 or 11, there's adventures in there that you can start playing, or if you just want something that's a little sidetrack from your current campaign. 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. They're all collected in one hardcover book. It is called Tales from the Yawning Portal (out March 24 in local game stores and April 4 everywhere else) It's a collection of seven of the most famous dungeons from Dungeons & Dragons history. Mike Mearls: We're announcing a new D&D product, a book coming out this spring.
