Thank you for that link! ...
+1 on that

As for midnight, Omote covered it fairly well. As a Tolkien fan, I look at it kind of like being in the time frame of the Silmarian, or what ME would have been like if Sauron would have won the war of the ring.

That or you could look at it like playing in the Troll Lord's world during the winter dark time frame (without it being winter all the time.

2) A conversion of the old Oriental Adventures book would be great, too.

3) (reserved, need to ponder)
Great ideas.

1) I love anything related to Lankhmar... digging it more than Conan by a long shot. There's a self-deprecating sense of humor to Leiber's stories that mixes well with the notion that the two of them NEED to adventure because they always manage to piss away their wealth. I also enjoy the bond between the Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser that, while strained at times, always manages to pull them together again.
2) That would be pretty easily done. I'm sure a few minor tweaks to existing classes, races and equipment would do the trick. After that, campaign notes on honor, caste systems, gods and feudalism in the east would take up most of the book.
I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am... a god.

3] The Tome of Horrors complete (Frog God Games)
I plan on converting all of those monsters (except whatever is already in the upcoming Classic Monster Manual) if the S&W version PDF ever drops in price.
