Stunner of the week --- the short dungeon that inspired Tomb of Horrors is actually much closer in design to the tomb in Gygax's lengthy Necropolis than it is to the actual Tomb of Horrors! This was revealed by the publication of the special edition of Arts & Arcana, which included a reprint of the original tournament version of Tomb of Horrors, and as a bonus, Alan Lucien's original dungeon that inspired it.

Yeah, pretty interesting! But it looks like the connection is too esoteric for most people to care about, lol :)
