[QUOTE="Betote, post: 4525798, member: 52055"] Fluffwise, it's a very unique dark-goth-punk space opera setting. And the fact that there're no real "good guys" makes it very interesting. Overall, the WH40K setting has many selling points, and a RPG based on that universe has been very expected (although someone could argue that there was already one in the form of the 2nd edition of the tabletop game, the acclaimed "Rogue Trader"). Crunchwise, it keeps the core of WHFRP. It's a quite simple system (roll 1d100 below your ability + modifiers), but with some interesting and well-implemented spot rules as hit location or sanity. Combat manages to get pretty tactical and varied without resorting to battlemats and miniatures. On the 'bad' side, as it stands now it might be too Inquisition-focused. I expected an RPG based on an universe as rich as 40K's one is to be more open-ended (I was, in fact, hoping to run rogue trader campaigns 'a la' Firefly), although if I'm not wrong, this is bound to be covered by future supplements.
