What's coming next for the game?
Have there been any hints about future plans for the line?
And what would you like the next few releases to cover?
We just got the Moria alpha, yes, and there's many sessions' worth of content there. I'm not being hasty or greedy—just wondering.
Re: What Books Might Come after Moria?
- 1. The next book is an adventure book, I'd assume it's like Tales but set in Moria.
2. It's been hinted that Lórien might be next...or at least soon.
Re: What Books Might Come after Moria?
Lórien is a very interesting choice—in part because, if that's right, then it seems like the 2e release schedule may be deliberately mirroring the Fellowship's journey, perhaps filling in gaps from 1e.
So then, after that, perhaps Gondor? (Which was the planned starting focus of the aborted C7 2e.)

Hoping for Misty Mountains.

Probably not for a while, at least. I think the Misty Mountains have been covered pretty thoroughly in TOR 1E and in the upcoming Moria expansion.Hoping for Misty Mountains.

Re: What Books Might Come after Moria?
The plan was for 1e, to create starter set with the Misty Mountains as main area. The region comes up in Heart of the Wild, Tales from Wilderland, Darkening of Mirkwood, Rivendell and Ruins of the North (all 1e), but not as main focus.
Re: What Books Might Come after Moria?
I think that was the plan for Cublicle 7s's TOR 2e, rather than 1e, back when they were the publisher? It's the same design and writing them as when C7 published the game.The plan was for 1e, to create starter set with the Misty Mountains as main area. The region comes up in Heart of the Wild, Tales from Wilderland, Darkening of Mirkwood, Rivendell and Ruins of the North (all 1e), but not as main focus.

I've got to agree with Harlath on this. A starter set would have had to have been for C7's plans for their own second edition. A 1e starter set would have made no sense by that point. In fact, here were C7's plans for the second edition:
.

Re: What Books Might Come after Moria?
I am still hoping that the C7 stuff that was wip gets adapted and published for Tor2.
Re: What Books Might Come after Moria?
My understanding is that's technically what Moria was. They heavily reworked it (seems as though it was a campaign rather than a setting book originally), but they were in the middle of it in 1e when they lost the rights, then adapted their work for 2e.
How much of that work is left for adaptation in the future...I don't know.
