I think Holy Warrior has it right. That is a party worth trying, relatively weak on the healing but so are the characters in LotR who are adventuring.

Waiting for my Two Towers DVD to show up next month. Yaaay!!!

Speaking of Lord of the Rings Parties: We have been to private showings of both LotR pics, where we could eat well (potluck, generally first class food such as shrimp kabob, curried lamb, veg dishes, etc.) and drink whatever we want (imported beer, wine, and ??) while watching the film in the enclosed balcony at the Senator. And we can set the lights, volume and Surroundsound balance. It is an art deco theater in Baltimore on the national historic list. Only cost about two bucks extra if you have the people (more than 10, easily met).

I don't think they will ever make a Wizardy movie, though. Most of these things go kaput if not done with intelligence and style. Jackson did it. It would take a literary masterwork and another genius director such as Ridley Scott or James Cameron. The bombs are too numerous to list, but I liked Dragonslayer, Sword and the Sorcerer, Conan the Barbarian, and a few others.
