There it is.
Of course, my jaw dropped when I saw Howe's cover. I would have liked it anywhere, anytime. But to me, TOR is Hodgson as much as it is Nepitello's rules, Hanrahan's writing or Bourne's designs. There's a harmony in the covers, when you look at your collection of TOR supplements, that will now be broken with the Erebor supplement. "Blessed break", might say some, but not me. I would have liked my Erebor book to feel exactly the same as my Laketown/Heart of the Wild/Darkening of Mirkwood/... books. Maybe with Belir in a prominent place, leading the way of Caranthir, Trotter and Co. to the front door of his Kingdom Under The Mountain.
Then again, Howe's cover could have been a great über-sized poster included in the book, to hang up besides the dinner table for all guests (expected and unexpected) to behold.
