'''Tycho:''' Mission accomplished, then, for the '''Tomb of Horrors'''.|''[[Penny Arcade]]'', [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/11/10/ That Tomb Tomb Pow]}}

 

* [[Lava Pit]]: One hallway ''tilts'' to dump you in.

* [[Load-Bearing Boss]]: {{spoiler|After you kill Acererak, you have to run out of a collapsing dungeon. Only if you go back, you find out the tunnel collapse was an illusion and the Acererak you killed was fake. He has a twisted sense of humor, and so does Gary.}}

* [[Malevolent Architecture]]: The entire tomb.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Acererak appears in the 3.5 Tome of Magic as one possible use for a [[Powers Via Possession]] based class.

* [[The Woobie]]: The Siren in the original version of the Tomb of Horrors. Trapped inside the tomb as an personal joke by Acererak. She is cursed so she can't leave the cavern she is trapped in, and neither can she say how to lift the curse, she can only hope the players "Ask her to join them" to lift her curse. Ofcourse most players would suspect the Siren to be just one of many traps, a [[Shmuck Bait]] or just a [[Fantastic Racism|monster]] or simply take one of the bag of holdings resting beside her, resulting in her being erased from existence. Ofcourse, saving her would make [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|the players friend for life.]]

* [[Things Mr. Welch Is No Longer Allowed to Do In An RPG]]: The author has had lots of experience with this module. Both beating it and avoiding it.

722. Can't intentionally fail all my secret door checks so I don't have to play Tomb of Horrors again. }}

* [[Total Party Kill]]: Would be the whole point, if killing just one PC at a time wasn't just as common.
