I'm looking forward to playing a quality star trek game with an emergent story! It's been far too long & I really hope this drives a whole new push for star trek games in general.
WotC is a division of Hasbro now & if you use MtG as a reference you can see the plan seems to be to drain the swamp. I think in their shareholders meetings they want MtG to double its earning in 4 years... So I'd imagine they're looking for angles on D&D & BG may be the flagship for this.
