The original intro text is still the best starting point!

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.
Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst His soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse.
To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

I don't know, I've run into a lot of the romance options in that game and I'm pretty sure tongues get traded a lot!

Both his Gaunt's Ghosts and Inquisition series are great looks at the actual 40K setting (which is 10K later than the Heresy).

I thought I knew this, but apparently I was thinking of the NIGHTBREED rip-off from CJ Carella published by Palladium, NIGHTBANE.

NYT put "Kamala Harris and her problem in interviews" on their front page today so don't hold your breath

I am extremely lucky to be in a position to choose to live in a place where it can't happen to me! How do people not recognise their own good fortune??

That's really cool! Did you notice that there are no Halloween decorations in 1985, despite the fact that it's late October? I've always wanted to ask someone who saw it in the cinema if they did notice!

I am not even a sports guy, but I firmly believe that Australian football is the best sport in the world. The variety of skills, the athleticism, the spectacle - there is nothing to compare.
