These concept sketches really resonate with the art by Barbara Nyfield in _The Glass Harmonica_, first published in 1967: http://intothedarkdimension.blogspot.co ... weird.html

Stoked to hear about the RPG, I hope it's faithful to the movie and not convoluted. I have the entire collection of books/screen for Bakshi's Wizards, having F&I would be nice as a compliment.
Is the RPG any good? I've occasionally thought about picking up a piece here or there, but haven't.

From what I remember reading through the core book, you have attributes and skills of which their scores combine for a total score. Resolution is roll a d20, add penalties/bonuses, compare to relevant attribute/skill score, roll under succeeds, roll over fails.

For running adventures in the world of Wizards, I think it's a good game, if a bit dated for most modern players, I'm sure. Definitely a niche' RPG for someone that really just wants to play in that setting.

Aragorn and Boromir salute the statues of the kings.
