What have people been using for this map? The ones in printed materials seem to be wrong looking something like this.

I found Mystery_Man's map here at Candlekeep which I am thinking of using it.

I figured I would see if there are other options or if people have other suggestions.

Rogue: So what's in the general store?
DM: What are you looking for?
Rogue: Whatevers in the store.
DM: Like what?
Rogue: Everything.
DM: There is a lot of stuff.
Rogue: Is there a cart outside?
DM: (rolls) Yes.
Rogue: We'll take it all, we may need it for the greater good.

I believe there is a map of the Yawning Portal in Expedition to Undermountain.

The first link is the map in Expedition to Undermountain. Note the lack of a yawning portal.

Mystery_Man's map, the second link, is very nice and it has a yawning portal. Though I do not see things like the secondary wet well in the back room. It also has an additional staircase that in the middle of the room, not sure if I like it.

I like the map presented in the wonderful Map of Waterdeep found here. The best way to find it is to use the bookmarks and click on "The Yawning Portal" under "Structures" > "Inns & Boarding Houses". Then use the Layers to view the 3 floors of the inn.

Turns out that that map from Expedition to Undermountain is the same as the one from the 1e City System box set.

Michael Muller has a nice image of the interior of the Yawning Portal in the Candlekeep Gallery.

I do want to point out that for anyone who's planning on the D&D Encounters series starting this Wednesday (written by that one tall and annoying guy), the Yawning Portal features prominently in the first session.

Now enough with the spoilers!
