Cubicle 7 has just revealed the cover art (by Johan Grenier) of the new version of The One Ring roleplaying game.
Contrast with MERP 2E's cover:Caption: "Quick, let the big people do the fighting while we run away!"
That is not the "Fellowship" in that picture so I am betting that is not GimliI don't have my LotR books with me, but can anyone remind me what chapter it was when Gimli got his reassignment surgery?
Yeah, but while all the others are generic enough, those two "fellows" front and center sure look a lot like Bilbo and Gandalf. Check out their weapons!That is not the "Fellowship" in that picture so I am betting that is no Gimli
Agreed, but the others clearly are not. The hobbit is fairly generic, except it's weapon certainly is reminiscent of Sting.Yeah, but while all the others are generic enough, those two "fellows" front and center sure look a lot like Bilbo and Gandalf. Check out their weapons!
Well, that is probably Gandalf. Same as with the cover for Adventures in Middle-Earth. Maybe something in their deal to use the IP requires Gandalf to be illustrated on some of the covers.Yeah, but while all the others are generic enough, those two "fellows" front and center sure look a lot like Bilbo and Gandalf. Check out their weapons!
Not complaining, though. This is an awesome piece.
You haven't read Appendix A to the Lord of the Rings, have you?There are no dwarf-women. Dwarves just spring out of the ground.

Reasonable comment.This is a great cover, but I like the 1st edition cover better. Has the misty Middle Earth feel of the novels. This one feels like it's appealing more to the movies.
