I'm really enjoying the Warhammer 40k RPG settings, Deathwatch and Black Crusade especially it seems.  I didn't think I would, but I have been enjoying a lot of the Black Library's fiction recently as well and having played Games Workshop games for years, longer than I've been RPGing anyway, I really feel like I can slot in to the universe.  My knowledge of the 40k universe isn't encyclopedic, but I think that's a good thing as every time you read a new book or play an RPG game you're going to learn something new.

The mechanics are very similar to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay v2 which also helps.  So apart from a few special rules which the GM explains anyway, and nothing too crazy, I was easily able to just sit down and start rolling some dice.

We're finishing off the Deathwatch intro game soon and then after I"ve ran the Black Crusade one, I am hoping someone picks up one of them to run on a more long term basis.  I'd rather play than run these ones, I think!
