Think it was said somewhere that they were using Rogue Trader TTRPG rules.

Irony (?) aside, isn't summer a bit too soon for a release if it's not even in alpha yet?

Seriously tho, what's a conservative estimate for a release date based on prior Owlcat titles? Roguey? Infinitron?
Even weirder typo. It was meant to be "Sumer", as in "Sumerian". The game has been ready for almost 6.000 years now.

Huh. I guess the rules went with the licence.

I just don't see Games Workshop making a deal where they don't retain everything at the end of the day.

Owlcat didn’t bother, why should you?

Saw the trailer, didn't like the animation style. Granny rogue trader looks somewhat one John Blanche's illustration for Inquisitor rulebook, but way more bland.
They should've gone for more stylized approach with it.
Otherwise my stance is wait (for inevitable Great Betrayal of extra pronouns or failing that all expansions and bugfixes) & see (the trainwreck).

Old Harkonnen:
So this thing had gold NES gamepad nipple plates with instructions on how to play with er... it?
That'd be a good marketing tassel for your bitch. Time to play tiddy winks. (They need a better model than.... ugh THAT THING!)

Did you grow to hate Owlcat, Desiderius? I know that feeling.
In the era of lootboxes and microtransactions, an American complains that an RPG is too long.
Sorry, but... what?
It's Rusty. Based on his Codex activity, we can safely conclude that his attention span is approximately four minutes long.
I think that if you dish out the sweet dolla bills, you can see the Alpha version and give them feedback. Is that what this is?

It's not that his attention span is 4 minutes long that is just how long he has time to play games in between making posts on the codex.
Hey now... no shaming for shitposting on the Codex... that way Infinitron would be beet-red every day.

I'm sure Owlcuck will make the God Emperor a tranny.
Those russian vatniks should keep their marxist hands of 40k.

Some people were asking about Rogue Trader TTRPG mechanics and stuff. This guy spends time talking about the roles and some of the mechanics in this video if you have an hour to burn to listen to him ramble. Owlcats has said that they're using a modified set of TTRPG rules, so who knows how things will change other than I think it's pretty clear that the "Rogue Trader" class will be the MC.
It's been a while, but AFAIR I was much happier with Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader as RPG rulesets than I was with prior Warhammer-RPG stuff.
