Well, one reason I suggested the kickstarter is that we know there’s about two or three ranges “done” that won’t be/haven’t been released: Wilderland, Easterlings, Helm’s Deep 3. So the masters are “there” in some fashion. Its just a case of getting them out there.
Also, a few years ago, I suggested on the mithril boards that they contact Cubicle 7, the makers of the One Ring RPG. I even got them contact information. However, when I was searching for Mithril and MERP on Google plus yesterday, I saw Gareth Hanrahan’s telling comment about how surprised he was they still existed. Hanrahan is C7’s key writer, who has written most of their big projects. So clearly either Mithril didn’t contact C7, or whatever contact there was got lost along the way.
It’s a bit perplexing. But then its always been a bit perplexing.
