Countdown-timer at Green Ronin...? What's it all about?

[Erekose]

"You'll find great adventure beyond the gate."

Well the King Beyond the Gate was a Drenai novel by David Gemmell but I doubt if that will be it - just wishful thinking on my part

 

[Primal]

It's from Lord of the Rings -- an old song with lyrics written by Bilbo:

"Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!"

(excerpt from page 91)

In my opinion it's a clear implication that GR has bought the rights to Middle-Earth/Lord of the Rings RPG.

 

[Nikosandros]

Could be...

What I would love (but due to licensing issue will never get) is a RPG with the license to all of Tolkien material.

 

[Keefe the Thief]

The guy who gets a license for THAT out of the license holders should afterward have no problem at mediating eternal world peace.

I thought that, but dismissed it because of the "new age" thing. In retrospect, I was probably being a bit too literal about that. I could really, really, really go for a Green Ronin Middle Earth RPG. I haven't bought a RPG product since last summer, but I'd sell a few more books for this one.

Middle Earth 4th Age?

 

[Urizen]

That's my guess.

Lord of the Rings: The 4th age of Middle earth.

 

[Fiery_Dragon]

If Chris and Nicole have anything Lord of the Rings, I'll just sent them all of my money now. Man, that would be awesome and in good hands.

We have no need for another Middle-Earth, DC Universe, Marvel Universe, Babylon 5, Stargate or Star Trek tabletop RPG. All of those properties really do need to lie fallow until at least 2015; I say, therefore, that what's to come will be something else entirely and thus I say that none of the speculated identities are correct.

I completely disagree. But that doesn't mean that I think it will be any of those. Probably won't be, in fact.
