It really does seem like the nineties WERE a million years ago... Sigh, how I miss my old flannell and doc's. How could you do this to me Kurt? I LOVED you, I was just a girl...

My all time fantasy universe is Warhammer 40K.  It's some of the darkest sci-fi/fantasy in existence, and to superb effect.  I only wish there was an official 40K RPG.  Right now the closest thing to it is Inquisitor...

Yeah, I find it quite odd how 40K managed to spend most of its time just ripping things off and then somehow ended up being a really original setting anyway.

Confuses me...

It would have made a wonderful roleplaying setting, but alas Games Workshop is more concerned with offloading minatures on impressionable teenagers at prices comparable to cocaine and hard crack. Luckily they've brought out the excellant WFRP:II out.  You could use that as the basis of a WH40K game although it would take a lot of conversion.  I still say your setting is better than the Warhammer universe - and that's not just me sucking up either, but a statement of fact.

I love the 40k world. but yes, they do just want to sell more miniatueres.
I have played for the last 10 years (since i was 9) and that stuff is addicted. In my gaming group at the store, we joke about it being "plastic crack".

I hear the occasional internet rumor that Games Workshop is considering eventually turning 40K into an RPG using the same system as WHFRP 2nd edition, but the truth of those rumors will probably depend upon just how much money Games Workshop makes selling WHFRP over the next few years. But...

40K's awesomeness + WHFRP's game mechanical suckitude = ?

I wouldn't want to see it under WHFRP's rules, 1st or 2nd edition.  Don't think they really suit the 40K tone (besides which, they do suck).
