Your personal wishlist for TOR books
I would love to see stuff covering areas not detailed in LOTR, such as Tharbad, the Blue Mountains, Rhun, Belfalas, etc. What would you like to see?

Re: Your personal wishlist for TOR books
I'm hoping that the so far officially unannounced Bree book covers the remainder of Eriador, the Blue Mountains and Lindon, much as the Rivendell volume covered Eastern Eriador. I presume that there are plans for a Gondor sourcebook. And at least a booklet on Lothlórien.
Beyond the above, I would definitely like to see coverage of the Sea of Rhûn including Dorwinion and the surrounding regions. Also a book detailing Haradwaith and Umbar with a focus on the City of the Corsairs. And what Loremaster wouldn't want a book about Mordor and Khand?
Pipedreams (probably out-of-bounds): Beleriand; Númenor; the Undying Lands.

Re: Your personal wishlist for TOR books
1. Bree (including Western Eriador)
2. Gondor and the South (I have an idea of a campaign to follow Thorongil as he takes on the Corsairs of Umbar)

Some news on Oaths of the Riddermark would be nice.

And Lórien.
And Dorwinion.

Re: Your personal wishlist for TOR books
Setting books are great to have and I'm sure we'll eventually get somethin for all the iconic locations of Middle-Earth. But my own biggest wish-list would consist of "More Campaign Books".
More than any other book that the TOR line has produced, The Darkening of Mirkwood sold me on the line. I'm a big fan of the Great Pendragon Campaign (and managed to run it over a two year period of real time), and it's clear that this is the big inspiration for DoM.
Having other similarly well produced campaigns would trump anything else that Cubicle 7 could produce for me.
Aside from that...
If we're going for anything we can imagine, then some material to set games in the First or Second Ages would be fun too. While MERP was completely the wrong system to run Middle-Earth games with, their default time period did have a lot to reccomend it. And having a DoM-type campaign running through the Silmarillion period?
Campaigns set in the between-books era do seem more realistic though, unless C7 has the license for a very long time.

Re: Your personal wishlist for TOR books
How did I forget Moria? Well, as someone suggested, it might be paired with Lórien.

I mostly just want adventures.
Moria Campaign
A campaign for new characters set in Eriador.
Greydelve (with a tie-in to Bilbo's unspecified adventures and dangers on his return from Erebor)
