I'm still laughing over your comments Rich, thanks!
Actually, I for one have always been fond of British beer & women (though that might be the problem
).

All Hobbit Tales preorders have now been dispatched. That's all US and UK/Europe/Rest of World.
Hobbit Tales will be in stores this coming week. Exciting!

I am UK-based.
Just confirming, there was a package waiting for me when I got home tonight and I now have a Hobbit Tales box
...with that and the download of Darkening of Mirkwood, I'd say C7 are definitely getting 2014 off to a fantastic start, keep up the good work

... Just unboxed mine. A gorgeous little product and the oversized cards were a great idea; they really allow justice to be done to the fine artwork on them.
You've nailed it with another top drawer publication - Francesco, Jon and Dom - Nice one.

I got mine yesterday. It is, indeed, a beautiful object.
I can't really comment on the rules, not having played the game, but there probably is a bit too much randomness for my taste. However, as a fun little game, and as a tool for improvisation, it seems great.
I have a complaint, though. I don't like criticizing such a nice object, but you should really have used text instead of icons, or at the very least icons that are easily distinguishable from each other (all 13 TOR icons have the same shape!). The role icons are bad enough (I don't want to have to remember a color code), but I have bad eyes, and I really can't distinguish the effect icons from each other, unless I compare them with the table under a good light. And I'm not even colorblind!
