The loot feels rewarding in this campaign as well. But even still, this ended up being one of the most fun parts of the entire dungeon. This section requires some depth and the images and map in the book didn’t really help to explain how the scene actually looked for the levels inside the prison. There was only one section that was a little hard to decipher and that was the Aquarium Prison. The images in this section of the book for White Plume Mountain are really well done. With all the other available dungeons in the Yawning Portal book, they all would work to slide into an existing campaign with very little effort. For instance, our group was able to roll right into this campaign after finishing the Curse of Strahd making the story feel like a continuation or even a victory lap for that campaign. One thing that I really enjoy about the Yawning Portal book in general is the ability to add these dungeons in to any story. Especially since we had just completed the Curse of Strahd campaign that I ran. Ours did add humor to the dungeon that made it pretty fun to play. This campaign provides the chance for many funny moments depending on the way the dungeon master wants to play it. The monsters were themed pretty well and presented a challenge at times for my character but started to sway the other direction as we began obtaining the loot in the dungeon itself. I have been removed from a lot of dungeon crawling adventures for many years so this was a breath of fresh air for me. I played the campaign as a player character this time around and really enjoyed myself. The dungeon runs best for characters at an 8th level but I found that if you are running a larger group that level 6 or 7 would probably be better. The whole adventure is not necessary on rails but as it’s a dungeon there are only so many directions that players can go. The campaign is fairly short running my group around 8 sessions at 2 hours each. It’s a dungeon crawler where the players hunt for magic items and loot while exploring the mysterious dungeons of the White Plume Mountain.

The campaign was originally released in 1979.

White Plume Mountain is a fantastic short campaign coming from the 5th editions Dungeons and Dragons book “Tales from the Yawning Portal.
