I picked it up today at a "preferred retailer" and have done some overall skimming and more careful reading of Tomb of Horrors.
I was surprised to see that not only does the titular inn have no place in any of the adventures, it seems to point to an adventure location (The Underdark) that is not covered in the book at all. I would say maybe it was setup for an Underdark AP but we have one of those already. I don't own Out of the Abyss though: does the Yawning Portal factor into that adventure?
Reading the Tomb of Horrors I feel like it is not especially dangerous for 15th or so level characters in 5E. Even when there is unavoidable damage it seems pretty low and challenges requiring flight or sight seem a literal pedestrian at the suggested level. But I am only 1/3 of the way through the adventure so maybe the difficulty ramps up.
You thoughts on Yawning Portal?
