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 ;)
See, I am the complete opposite with the exception of the Rangers of the North and the High Elves (which have only just been added) I really have little interest in the cultures that are in play in the basic game. My interest has always been with the Rangers, Rohan (my grandfather raised horses) and Gondor.

It's more the freshness of the Beornings and Woodmen (and Bardings/Lake-men to a lesser degree) that I like so much. I've been reading about Gondor and the Dunedain and Rohirrim for years and so having some 'new' information on largely untouched cultures (and being generally new to TOR) gets the juices flowing. Nonetheless, I am interested to see how the Brohirrim get integrated into the game.

Cheers for the update, looks great and I agree a direct debit would probably be easier!!!!

Though I do feel the frustration sometimes as you just want all these goodies, I am personally glad you stick to your guns and only release a finely crafted and high quality product.

So keep up the excellent work, have a great Christmas and here's to great 2015 for TOR. :D

In our Decipher campaign, my PC was a lone Rohirrim who adventured alongside a Dunedain Ranger, a Dwarf, two Elves, and a Hobbit (sometimes two Hobbits). We did a lot of travel via horseback, and just having this single man from Rohan I thought worked fine (in much the same way the original 'Fellowship' was made up of such a cross-section of peoples and cultures).

Ah, I see what you did there. ;)

That's awesome, Jon. But I think it would have been even better with a "You mad, bro?" :lol:
