[QUOTE="Ethawyn, post: 7939016, member: 7017219"] The rules were finished, the game was set to be printed and shipped in late 2019/early 2020, so they'd made a lot of progress. Folks from Free League have confirmed on their forums and on the TOR Discord that it will be Francesco Nepitello's 2E version that he designed for C7 with some dials adjusted. Here's the comment from Tomas on the Free League forums (translated by a Swede): And here's what Nils from FL had to say on the Discord: The later half of the comment was in response to someone wondering if Simon Stålenhag might do the artwork for the TOR line. It's obviously very oblique, but it makes we wonder if they are planning on doing all new artwork for it and having Simon do it. Alternatively, maybe they'll use C7 stuff for the core but call on Simon for the artwork on future editions. Either way, I think he'd be a wonderful person to do Lord of the Rings art. I hope they can at least purchase and print Blando's map. I'm curious about this as well. C7 owns all of the art assets for TOR 1 and 2, while Sophisticated Games owns the rule system and IP rights. I suspect that means that if they were to reprint 1e stuff they'd have to purchase all of the assets off of C7 and I'm not sure if they'd want to or if C7 would even be willing. Hey that's my FLGS! Love them. [/QUOTE]
