maybe a new sphere?
ooooooooooooooooooooooo. Never even thought of that! What would it be?
The First 'Big Box' Expansion: An Exercise in Speculation
Knowing next to nothing about Tolkien lore compared to other posters in this thread, I'm just hoping for the next deluxe expansion and adventure pack cycle to lead up to a showdown with some big, horrifying monster like a Dragon or Balrog; Conflict at the Carrock has me itching to face some really, really nasty enemies! Some kind of retelling or reinvisioning of The Hobbit would be awesome, as would the expedition into Moria that lots of people suggest we're likely to see. I would love something from the Silmarillion, but that is highly doubtful.
Honestly though, I'll probably be stoked for whatever they decide to release, although I hope it isn't Rohan themed. Horses are boring and smelly.
Edit: If they release a new sphere (which I think would be very unlikely), what would be special about it? I can't think of a particular niche that isn't filled by one of the existing spheres.
I don't think a new sphere is very likely for at least a couple of years. They still need to flesh out the four spheres we already have without adding a fifth.

As for the next take on things, I'd like to see Shire and Missions around that area rather than Moria. I'll appreciate it anyway but I am more for nature and the wild rather than the underground.
Me too, I'd like to see the Barrow-Wights and their graves, or the rock-throwing giants in the Misty Mountains. The vivid description of nature in Tolkien's works has always been very appealing to me, and I'd also like to see more "mystic" places. Does anyone know good old METW?
The "Stone-Circle" and "Plague of Wights" cards are my favourites regarding atmosphere
Wow, my first post. Sweet.
I was listening to the latest episode of "Cardboard of the Rings" today and I heard about this topic. So, I wanted to post.
A Moria set would be wonderful! That would be so cool! Naturally, it should have stuff like the Balrog, Goblins, the Cave Troll (Heaven forbid), and the Watcher in the Water. I think this could be like the Osgiliath quest in that you don't need to add additional cards. (Sigh for the Moria Goblins in the Core Set.) And I think the big expansions (and I am definately getting one) would have a hero of each sphere. (Maybe even introduce a new sphere.)
Helm's Deep wouldn't be bad either. Lots of Uruk-Hai. And maybe we could get a Theoden hero or something. And a White Wizard Gandalf.
For the Hobbit, though, would about Smaug's lair? That wouldn't be bad (I guess.) Or the beginning of the Third Age would be excellent. Alas, we will never get to see anything from the Silmarillon.*Sigh* No Sauron as a werewolf. (I believe he took the form of one once.)
