My whole Mega Dungeon is going to be built around the beauty of Vancian Magic. Spells have died only so many remain. Sorcerers at war over what remains. The madness that ensues from trying to cram the raw living forces of chaos into the limitations of the human mind. Should be fun and hopefully give people a new appreciation for Vancian magic.
While true, I think the AC system alone flies in the face of it being a true pulp experience. Conan, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, John carter, none of these people wear armor most of the time; it's exceedingly rare. But the AC system all but requires you to wear armor.
