Playing in two campaigns with each character being a hobbit, I've gotta say I am seriously hoping that the new region guide is about The Shire.
I don't recognize your avatar, Kurt. Should I? Or is that a custom character portrait?

If you've been using my "TOR Guide to the Shire" in the House Rules forum at all, Kurt, tell me where you think it could be improved. I know that I've missed or ignored some opportunities with it, but I wanted to keep it reasonably concise.

Some people (myself included) enjoy reading homebrew materials and houserules, but unless they come imprinted with the C7 logo they just don't count.

Of course not, but they can fill the gap to some extent while we wait for official product. I intentionally kept my home-brewed guide very loose to keep it as relevant for as long as possible. A consequence of that, though, was my write-ups for notable persons in the Shire are little more than simple outlines.

Hi Glorelendil,

It's not a custom piece and I wish that I had the skills to draw like that. It's a little snippet of a wonderful image. It was used on the cover of this book.

Cheers,
Kurt

Hi Otaku-sempai,

I haven't been using it, although I did read it. You do a good job of all the guides you write up. I also looked at another guide that Robin did, where it lists of all the inns. But as Glorelendil said, I still would like an official C7 version ;)

Cheers,
Kurt
