CHAMPIONs!
Our Masters answer a lot of questions about the Tales from the Yawning Portal, I’ve collected all of them, let’s begin!
@Sands_TavaresDoes the size of this book indicate a smaller window between it and the next? nope

@bldaggerhart Is Tales from the Yawning Portal taking the place of a storied adventure path this spring, or will we see both?it’s our spring release #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
@Loaf187 Will Tales from the Yawing Portal have a limited cover like Volo’s guide? no
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
@mahewa_jtIs Tales from the Yawning Portal the next story line, or more of a supplement? it’s meant to supplement all our other story lines – drop in adventures to extend or bridge content #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
@mikemearls Will the Tamoachan section of the new book be set in Maztica? The tabaxi references in Volo’s and Dragon+ make me hope… thanks
— Nicolás Carrillo-S. (@NicolasCS) January 5, 2017
will those guidelines include #Dragonlance as well? The adventures include guidelines for setting each in multiple worlds. Including Eberron! #wotcstaff https://t.co/hwJ02Z3qAm

@Sam_Urfer @ChrisPerkinsDnDSo, no storyline for the first half of this year? What’s the value to TftYP if one has all the adventures? 5e staff, full color art #wotcstaff

@Sam_Urfer @ChrisPerkinsDnD Staff = stats? No further material, perhaps? stats

@mikemearls safe to assume from now on, WOTC will Announce in Jan for a Mar/Apr Adventure, Then May for Sep Adventure and Nov DM book?

I’d be leery of taking anything as a set pattern – we’ll vary our plans based on what we think will work best. #wotcstaff https://t.co/yPEREpNKET
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@Barantordoes “Tales from the Yawning Portal” also include “Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane” or just G1-3 “Against the Giants” g 1 – 3

@mikemearls Yawning Portal looks awesome, but no story campaign this time around? Have loved all the campaigns and was hoping for more
— Ryan Conway (@VonFunkenstein) January 5, 2017
Tales is a little bit of a pause, a resource you can use with any campaigns. Rate people use stuff is something we keep in mind. #wotcstaff https://t.co/y24ccvH6x8
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@Inxanity1 @Wizards_DnD @ChrisPerkinsDnD So, Yawning Portal is Season 6, but is it “Labyrinth?” yes and yes
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@mikemearls was a little grumpy about Tale from the Yawning Portal till you mentioned inter-planar travellers. Thanks for not moving ToHtoFR
— Barantor (@Barantor) January 5, 2017
Part of the concept was to make the adventures usable with any setting – even Dead in Thay is easy to use elsewhere. #wotcstaff https://t.co/FrFMJHhnQE
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@eastmablwhere are the adventures from yawning portal located? Here’s to hoping that we’re getting other settings opened for DMsG. no set locations – picked ones that are easy to adapt to any setting #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD Just curious how far in the future did you plan your 5e roadmap go? #dnd
— Simon Oberbrinkmann (@Dummyurd) January 6, 2017
I have plans out to 10 years, but know that plans change as we learn and things change. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/k1P2fbb5ad
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@Lord_Sicariousan important question for Tales: is the Tomb of Horrors port just as harsh and deadly as the original? yes
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@jephlewisAre we getting TftYP 2 weeks early at FLGSs like we have with previous books, @mikemearls? Running a charity stream 3/35 and want to use SC. yes
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@chriswachal @mahewa_jtdoes that mean there is a different adventure book coming out for the spring? no, taking a break from big adventures for the spring #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
A thing I dig in Tales from the Yawning Portal: tips for setting the adventures in various worlds—particularly FR, GH, DL & EB. #WOTCstaff
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 6, 2017
@mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD @jeremyecrawford @Wizards_DnD Which of the seven adventures in Tales is your favourite? #dnd
— Merric Blackman (@MerricB) January 6, 2017
The player in me says AGAINST THE GIANTS. The DM in me says HIDDEN SHRINE OF TAMOACHAN. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/a3njSybUjt
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 6, 2017
@ChrisPerkinsDnD they didn’t happen to sneak your “Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane” into “Tales from the Yawning Portal” did they?
— Barantor (@Barantor) January 5, 2017
Nope. Just the three original G-series modules. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/71hOENccq0
