Yes, I play it. It has replaced (GASP!) D&D as my current fantasy rpg. I love it because it lends itself to playing a combination of Call of Cthulhu and D&D, which me and my players enjoy.
The GRR/BI/GW thing is quite simple really. Games Workshop owns Black Library, which produces books for the Warhammer franchise. Black Industries is the gaming part of Black Library. Black Industries have contracted the development of the WFRP game to Green Ronin.
So the chain is GW to BL to BI to GRR and back again.
While I love the game, I have yet to type up a lengthy explanation as to why, but check out my blog (the second link in my sig) to sample my take on the setting.
