A thread to record snippets of information pertaining to the future of the GW LotR/Hobbit system.
Couple of things I've read recently (pinch of salt at the ready)...
It sounds like GW are preparing the 5 sourcebooks ("Free Peoples, "Fallen Realms", etc.) for reprint.
At the Throne of Skulls event at Warhammer World this weekend there will apparently be a major announcement about the future of the system from Adam Troke, the GW "Middle Earth Manager".
