I had started by converting the original then swapped to the Yawning Portal version when it came out. I moved WPM further north into the Wolf Nomad lands in Greyhawk and made the mountain a sacred site to the Wolf Nomads which added another level of complication to getting there, and for one pc who is a wolf nomad.I'm using my own weapons, not the originals, and party going there to loot WPM as they wanted/needed the weapons after learning of their existence. After an epic battle vs Sir B, who escaped, they headed out and off the cuff I decided to foreshadow Tomb of Horrors. I had a projected image of Keraptis himself appear and say his piece (I showed them the picture of Acerak in TotYP) & had a couple of  Barlgura demons try to stop them from leaving (rather than the original encounter in question). After a tough battle the party slew the demons and escaped.What I was not expecting was the reaction of our druid player who immediately wanted to go back and finish off Keraptis- he was really, really pissed at the lich. The rest of the party talked him out of it. In reality, the whole adventure was a sidetrek  and after much discussion as to whether or not to continue on their main adventure or take on Keraptis in WPM they decided to continue with their main adventure and come back for Keraptis later on. So that little last minute change has changed the whole tone of the adventure and made Keraptis a real threat/ presence for them. I am seriously considering putting the Tomb of Horrors beneath the WPM dungeon when they decide to take down Keraptis  and have him rather than Acerak as the presence in the tomb. The Big A has become a bit too popular of late so will leave him for the new adventure. The party are now starting an adventure vs the Frost giants in SKT that will lead to the Glacial Rift which again I have only ever run once and that was in the late 1980s under 1E.
