Just to highlight "under development are some more Wilderland guides". Really interesting. Lonely Mountain and Dale perhaps?

Thank you for sharing this interview. It's very informative to read how Gareth envisioned the book & his research, or for that matter, his comments about the other products.

Concerning the future of the line, this para leaps out at me:

"The original plan for three core sets – Wilderland, Eriador, and the South – still holds, although it has obviously evolved and changed as we developed the game. The Rivendell supplement is under development, as are some more Wilderland guides. We’ll move south when time permits. We’re also expanding the creative team, so hopefully we can get to Rohan and Gondor in good time, but it’s folly to give even vague dates at this point."

Yes, I love that they're considering additional guides. I'm also stoked about the Rohirrim & Gondorians. I'm concerned that he didn't address Eriador beyond Rivendell, however; unless he just forgot (or that allusion to the original three fills the gap (?) I sure hope they're going to do some more & that they'll announce something soon. Still, it's good news overall.

Thanks for the link. Nice to read that William Morris is included in some way.

Thank you for linking to such an interesting and informative interview. I do wonder if long-term plans could take the game into post-LotR or (more likely) pre-TH eras.
