charliemudd's review against another edition
4.0
This review only covers the Tomb Of Horrors section -- The classic D&D module where everybody dies: so many traps, so many secret doors. Tomb Of Horrors has been updated for 5e as part of the Tales of the Yawning Portal collection. The artwork got a redo, much for the worse -- as usual, anytime older D&D art is redone to look fancy and new, it only makes me appreciate the original art more. No real changes to the module as far as I can tell: it is still a bastard of an adventure, and the players should be told that several of the party will likely die since there are numerous traps that cause instant death with no saving throw. The only real way to make it through this campaign with no deaths is to get lucky enough to avoid the traps and bad areas altogether. Many people dislike the insta-death aspect of TOH, but I have always enjoyed it given the proper warning to the players. Note: I just ran TOH all online using Roll20 and Discord and it was a blast; and believe it or not, none of the characters permanently died. Oh there were plenty of zero hit point situations, but with plenty of Resurrection and Cure Wounds options on hand, they all made it.

The adventures are all spread out and unrelated, but lots of good content to steal.
