Still on target for an announcement soon?

I would almost do this if it meant I could get a painting lesson from Jon too.

Custom character art by Jon, IMO. (Would be a great donation to a charity auction...)

The other possible announcement that would not stun me is a reprint of the core game, possibly single volume

I have the french version, single volume, and I'm tempted to buy the english one just to have two volumes (and have all my books in the same language, of course). I hope they keep that format (but improve the way it's organised, so only one of the two books actually contains all the rules/tables).

I really want to expand beyond Wilderland and I want more cultures (Dunedain please). I want more adventures too.

Which reminds me...
The statement in the book that says that there will be rulebooks for other areas is still kosher or has it been abandoned in favour of a greater depth in Rhovanion?

No, that was revised quite some time ago. We'll see all that material eventually, but not in the form of a new rulebook.

Personally, I'm hoping for some stuff on Dale/Erebor (the only significant part of the Wilderland not to get in-depth coverage).

Middle Earth is soooo much more than just Wilderland. Can we please have some of the rest of the breadth of this epic setting too?

I hope for that, also, but I hope they don't rush it. I'd prefer they keep providing the depth they have been, and expand geographically slowly, rather than thinly cover a lot.

I commissioned pictures of the PCs in my campaign. The finished results from Jon were awesome, truly brilliant. It's great to have you PCs represented by one of the game's main artists. Highly recommended if you have the spare cash.

OMG I'm on it....

Some very good guesses in this thread. Fingers crossed all the official boxes get ticked soon.
