Horselords of Rohan Update October 21st 2015

[birnaum]

Hello everyone,

In the past 24 hours I've noticed that these new supplements (Journeys and Maps, Horse Lords, and Adventurers Companion) have popped up from at least one retailer in the U.S. for pre-sale with an estimated delivery of December 14th - 21st (to my doorstep, as I understand it).
Is this just a crock?
I'd assume we'd hear something from Cubicle 7's website first...
Anyone else seeing anything pop up?

That seems premature to say the least. I think that someone came across some bad information.

Having been told by Dom on Saturday the next pre-order is probably six to eight weeks away I doubt this is correct.

Seem's correct, they have just release Lone Wolf now (just before Christmas, hehehe )

So I'm wondering -- I've got two more weeks of gameplay for my campaign before I'm flat out of material. I've been stalling for three months, including running in MERPS Moria. I'm just flat out until Horse Lords of Rohan comes out, which everyone is really looking forward to. If we don't play Christmas week, I'm cool until the first week in January. And then....

So here's my question: would it be better to just cancel gaming for a few weeks in hopes that Horse Lords will be out in January, or start another campaign in another system, running the risk that the players will get into that and won't want to go back to The One Ring? If I get seven or eight sessions into something else, to the end of February or such, I think effectively we've stopped playing One Ring for the forseeable future. If I cancel gaming and just hold on waiting, I may lose the players if we can't run for several months. They'll get into other games with other people. What to do? What's your best guess on the eta for Horse Lords?

As I said earlier in this thread Dom said to me at Dragonmeet on Dec 5th that the eta for the next pre-order is around the end of January.

Go buy Fallout 4. By the time you emerge for air the supplements for Forochel and Harad will be in their 2nd editions.

(Alternately, just home brew some adventures? Maybe play test the one I've been writing?)

Does that mean the digital version might be out then? Or is that still a couple of months or more after the pre-order?

[Hermes Serpent]

If you pre-order from C7 you get the pdf at the time and the print version arrives about 2-3 months later. If you order from somewhere else I have no clue.

Thanks! I'd gotten both digital and paper at different points, digital from DriveThruRPG and paper usually from my local gaming store.
