You want people have fun, not fall asleep or wander away. If you look up everything at the table, everybody will get bored. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you need to look up monsters and stuff beforehand. I wrote a guide to this book, and I prepared the adventure as best as I could for you. Preparing: If this is the first adventure you’ve ever run, you need to read the whole chapter. At the bottom of the place is a druid and a tree tainted by the blood of a vampire. You begin by entering a dungeon that’s inhabited by feuding kobolds and goblins. It starts out a bit basic, and grows in complexity as you go on. It’s a good dungeon for new players and DMs, because it was designed for them. 3rd edition was really popular at the time, and a lot of people played it. This adventure came out right when 3rd edition was released. That’s for brand new, 1st level characters. Start with Sunless Citadel: If you are going to start a group, you’ll want to use the Sunless Citadel first. Gary Gygax himself made this dungeon and it is meant to be the ultimate challenge.

#Running tales from the yawning portal full
The Tomb of Horrors is a dungeon full of traps (and almost no monsters at all) designed to kill almost anyone. White Plume Mountain is known as a “funhouse” dungeon, a place full of weird and wacky rooms. These have all been updated to the 5th edition rules.įamous: Some of these adventures are very famous in D&D circles. They were originally made for previous editions (with different rules). Although the stat block in the monster database and the compendium text contradict each other, the compendium is the one that doesn't make sense as per the question, so my money's on the stat block listing being a corrected version.This book is a collection of 7 adventures. Thanks to user guildsbounty for noticing that the D&D Beyond compendium text for Tecuziztecatl (also behind a paywall) still lists "Primal" instead of Primordial, but this is unsurprising because the compendium is a direct adaptation of the text of the book, which has received no errata. The stat block is behind a pay-wall, but you can confirm this by filtering the monster database by language and checking the options available in the languages drop-down menu. Again, this is shy of definitive, but it's more evidence that "Primal" is a newly introduced error. At the very least, this indicates there's no tradition of it speaking "Primal." The first instance of it speaking "Primal" is in the Yawning Portal stat block.

In addition, the 4th edition version of this adventure only lists Olman for Tecuziztecatl's languages, and the original (AD&D) version indicates that Tecuziztecatl speaks to the party in Olman. No errata has been released for Yawning Portal, but you can be fairly certain that the Beyond developers communicated the issue to Wizards and corrected it in the Beyond stat block in the monster database. The D&D Beyond stat block for Tecuziztecatl 1 states that it knows the languages Olman and Primordial, and the language "Primal" is nowhere to be found in the Beyond monster database.Īlthough Beyond is not considered an authoritative rules source, this context provides a strong indication that the unexpected and unknown "Primal" language is an error in the text 2 of the version of this adventure published in Tales from the Yawning Portal. "Primal" is surely an error in the Yawning Portal text.
