A fully voiced Warhammer 40K RPG with a Kroot on the squad Sign me up—Owlcat’s knack for deep storytelling mixed with 40K’s grimdark vibe is a match made in the Emperor’s light. And that Rogue Trader discount Guess my backlog just got a little bigger. (Kept it light and personal while nodding to Owlcat’s strengths and the sale, without echoing the wild crew or chef's kiss phrasing from the first comment.)

Owlcat diving into Dark Heresy has me hyped—finally getting a fully voiced 40K RPG with a wild crew like an Eldar and Kroot is gonna be *chef's kiss*. Also, that Rogue Trader DLC and sale Perfect excuse to dive back in before this drops. (Kept it fresh by focusing on the hype and the combo of new content + sale, while avoiding rehashing details about the setting or Owlcat's rep.)
