Hasbroβs annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire companyβs revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.

The first face grabs my attention more, but all the other elements on the new one look great. If the first one's halo and icons got the same treatment as the second's, I would decidedly prefer that one.

The Thassera quest was an absolute delight. Creepy, funny, and just plain *interesting* at every turn. While I agree that thus far, Lex Imperialis hasn't been quite as stellar as Void Shadows, this specific locale and its quest are right there at the top of what Rogue Trader has to offer.

The players were solving problems, but also kind of just kicking the can down the road to an extent, which meant tension kept building. The more they kicked sleeping dogs, so to speak, the more wandering monsters I could throw at them.

My players were admirably committed to not killing where it was unnecessary, which led to some amusing situations: at loose in and around the house, at one point, were
- a giant snake
- a smuggler
- two skeletons (who fled the room they were confined in when the cleric turned them)

I have Issues (TM) with how it was written for 5e (and how this clashes IMO with an O/NSR approach to gaming), and I intend to put this into words (for real this time T_T )

I wrote before about how Sersa Victory's Tomb of the Dusk Queen bothered me because the dungeon made no sense as a versimilar space. Not so with the Saltmarsh's haunted house! The house layout is very plausible, yet nonetheless an engaging space for challenges, decisions, etc.

This is a nice little "twist" for parties that might come in expecting only one or the other--and in a fantasy world like this, both are equally likely, right?

So I quite enjoyed part 1 of The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (as far as we got, which was most of it in a 3 hr session), especially it's take on the adventure serial haunted house. In this case, it is both *actually* haunted, but also *fake* haunted as a cover-up for a smuggling operation.

I played Anima one (1) time and the cannot say for certain what wisdom I gleaned, except perhaps that life multiple is a wild way to handle HP growth.

playing Rogue Trader always leaves me wanting to run Wrath & Glory but then I'd need players willing to accept Space Marines never appearing because I refuse to learn anything about that most boring aspect of the setting
