Great interview, thank you.
I had a thought recently. I was wondering if you’d consider a deep dive into Cavaliers? It’s bit out of the blue with the focus currently on Aberrant, but, eventually, I think it’s a pretty cool game setting that might deserves more attention. I can’t be the only one who would like to know more about it.
We’ll see what we can do!
Wait…Divis Mal has arms!?
