[QUOTE="timbolton, post: 7784612, member: 6876016"] I really love the cover, it's doing the job of showing a party of adventurers with the various TOR classes/cultures (note there is a [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Tahoma]Beorning stood with the dwarf and hobbit[/FONT][/COLOR]) alongside a patron - Gandalf. The awesome Jon Hodgson did this idea across nearly all of his covers for the 1st Edition. You can see the same characters grouped up, with a few exceptions I think. Jon isn't with C7 anymore, having formed his own company this year ([URL]https://handiwork.games/[/URL]) and it was Jon's visual style that heavily influenced the look that we all loved about TOR 1st Edition. I can understand why C7 wanted to move away from this and they are definitely taking a step closer to the AiME style of covers. It'll be interesting to see how they do the interior art as well, decorative borders of pages etc, because that too was Jon's visual expression. Dwarf women - I think a lot of people are tongue-in-cheek joking (and being misunderstood), but yeah there are dwarf women and we know very little about them. This site is always good for info on all things Tolkien - [URL]http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Dwarf-women[/URL] So what are we going to see inside? Right now there isn't a lot of info unless they have been saying it quietly at cons. I was at the UK Games Expo and there wasn't anything more revealed than what is in the linked article below. I am really excited for the range of products that will be accompanying the new edition, it sounds well thought-out, but don't expect it all at once. C7 take their time with their products.
