Thanks! I was quite excited when I found this.
I noticed the Sinking Lands right away, but I only saw Frog-ton when you pointed it out. Interesting indeed! I also noticed the Isle of Xenophon. A connection to the Tower of Xenopus from Holmes D&D?
From what I have read so far, it looks like Leiber's Sinking Lands are quite different from those in Blackmoor, but it seems likely that this is where Arneson got the idea anyway.
"When The Sea King's Away" sounds like it is worth investigating. Thanks for pointing it out!
I'm glad you started the reading list thread, or we might never have come across all this!
