Ok, good news. But, I am a little confused on one point. The Riders of Rohan culture was originally due for introduction in the Companion. I am assuming that the Rohan sourcebook will include all the necessary info for playing the The Riders, and we won't have to wait for the companion for full disclosure.

It was always the plan that you could use either supplement without the need for the other. So no change there!

Riders of Rohan... will we finally see "official" rules for fighting from horseback then? :D

I'm curious if the Rohan culture will appear in both supplements, which has the downside of using page count for repeated content, or if the "either playable without the other" means that you can play the Rohan supplement without having the Rohan culture for player-heroes. I'm guessing the latter, which I'm fine with, but I'm anticipating unhappy forum posts about "broken promises" if that's the case.

Whereas my preference would be for the Adventurers Companion to have all playable cultures, this consolidating the Core, Laketown, Heart of he Wild, Rivendell, Rohan, Gondor, Bree et al. into a single reference work. Bonus points if it has Woses.

This would be my wish as well. As a fan of the Horsemen I have to say that I am a little concerned on how things will unfold. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

As much as I love the Rohirrim, I'm just not that excited about their inclusion in the game. This is mostly because I always picture them as a whole: an Eored, or a whole army. So an individual just seems less interesting to me. The other reason is because I feel like I've barely scratched the surface with the Mannish cultures of Wilderland and I want to get to know them a great deal more than the well-established Horse-lords.

But that's neither here nor there. I'll buy the book anyway ;)
