I really enjoy the WH40k universe and "fluff", but I find the official WH40k RPGs to be too cumbersome. Would anyone be interested in a game using a much lighter (and PbP friendly), more story-focused game? There is a freeware version of the PDQ rules available at
http://www.atomicsockmonkey.co...bies/di/pdq-core.pdf but I have a few modifications in mind to fit the WH40k theme.
For the game iteself, and idea I have been kicking around for awhile is using the Horus Heresy as a backdrop, where the players are group of various marines now caught in the midst of the fratricidal civil war. Essentially, a group of Black Shields: marines who disavowed their chapter and acted on their own. (Some non-marine characters might fit too).
Does this sound interesting?
