Tales from the Yawning Portal contains seven famous adventures from previous editions of Dungeons & Dragons, adapted for Fifth Edition. These are iconic adventures from over 40 years of D&D, capable of thrilling old players and conquering new ones.

Because it's an adventure to play: there's a good chance that the main villain of Honor of the Thieves might just be Szass Tam himself, plus try to stopping the plans of the Red Wizards is always a good idea. In addition to these valid reasons Dead in Thay represents a very particular experiment in terms of adventure, it is in fact a module designed for an epic multi-table game session!

Dead in Thay can therefore be played simultaneously by as many as eight game groups, however if you do not have the opportunity to involve all these people, the adventure can be reshaped based on the number of game groups present.
