Cover SHOULD be black: Moria mean Black Chasm...

Wow! Super exited to see this
Regarding the cover, then just a black rock texture may be appropriate, but it would be too easy!
I would prefer some dwarves mining mithril in the deep places under the mountain, with a black shadow, like balrog wings, embracing them. Their faces showing the fall to corruption that drove them to delve too deep and in their eyes the fire that has been awokened by their greed!

Looking forward to hear more!!!

Yes!

It will also be nice if we get a Dwarves of Moria (Balin's Colony) Culture.

Cultural Blessing: Dead
You are dead as the proverbial doornail. You automatically pass all Valour and Wisdom checks, however it doesn't do you much good. Likewise your common skills all have a zero ranking, but on the positive side you can't gain any more Shadow.

It may be that the black rock texture cover is for the set box/case itself, while the book(s) inside it may have a different art cover...

That would make it the "Smell the Glove" of the TOR line. "There's something about this that's so black, it's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black."

HOLYCRAPHOLYCRAPHOLYCRAP

So excited. Man, I loved the cover of laughter of dragons (it seemed... I dunno, more TOR-y than Oaths was to me - still great art just not quite the style I've come to associate with TOR) but THIS is just... Gah. The LM friend of mine who runs the game for us will now be obligated to run the 'DWARFQUEST' as we've come to call it.

So excited.

While we are commenting on the poster, I like the ominous look of the poster. However for the Deluxe Box Set I would much rather see something like an ancient stone doorway with steps leading down into the darkness, or the hint of a black shadowy figure surrounded in darkness with two fiery eyes peering into the readers soul.

This is the most excited I've been about any TOR product so far!!

I will definitely be in for a pre-order this time.

Yes, I am super excited about this too! I don't know whether to pre-order directly from Cubicle 7 or from my local gaming store. The delays for Australia are so long, I just got Bree yesterday and I am wondering if it would be quicker going directly through Cubicle 7. Another consideration is the packaging, I'd definitely want no dents in the Deluxe Boxed set. Amazon's packaging is terrible these days so it's unlikely that I will be getting it through them.
