For me and all but one of my players...it would be very memorable, in a good way. When you say "Why - [because] the best way through the dungeon is to be uber cautious and not interact with anything you don't need to"...you say it like it's a bad thing. For me and almost all of my group, this would be a good thing. Something that would bring home the point that this is a lich who designed his tomb to KILL INTERLOPERS. He didn't design it to "be a bit of a bother" and he most certainly didn't design it to be "a reasonable challenge, but not too hard, for adventurers to steal his treasure and desecrate his tomb". HE'S TRYING TO KILL YOU AND EVERYONE WITH YOU! So, IMHO, if you, as a player, are informed enough to realize that this is a true deathtrap dungeon, designed to trick and screw you over so that you die quickly and horribly...then you should be informed enough to say "Uh, no. We'll just use that map we got from the wizard as fire-starter for tonight's camp", and go take on some 'lesser', or 'more reasonable' challenges. Fair enough. Part of being a successful adventurer is knowing when to hold 'em, and knowing when to fold 'em. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Oh, lastly, "throwing in some monsters" doesn't equate to "more exciting". If the players enjoy X, throwing in  Y isn't going to mean much. In fact, it can seriously detract from the "fun and excitement" of a given adventure. Again, this is wholey an assumption on your part for your particular play style. One that the Tomb of Horrors doesn't support.IMHO, Mr.Wick basically said "Broccoli is the worst vegetable of all time!", and then tried to back it up with anecdotes about how it was two shades of green when you buy it, two different shades when you steam it, and it reminds him of trees and that time he climbed a tall one, fell out, broke his arm and hip, and had to do painful physio for a year...so, "obviously" broccoli is the worst. *sigh*^_^Paul L.
