Warhammer 40,000 campaign

[vader125]

The universe of Warhammer 40k seems to really parallel Traveller to a great extent but with a much darker feel.

I am thinking of using T20 to design and run a campaign in that universe.

Has anyone out there done so before or wanted to? I would love to see some ideas/discussion on this.

By the way, I'm new here! hello everyone!

Just out of curiosity what do you say Traveller and 40k have great parralels?

I mean don't get me wrong i ador both, for very different reasons... and a 40k RPG is something i'd love to see.... but apart from them both having space in i really don;t see what other similarities they have, they are completely different.

Still that said i'd be interested to see anything you work up for 40k using a T20 system, out of curiousity.

While I've never run warhammer 40k as an RPG I have taken elements of the 40k universe, and put them in MY traveller game. The Imperium has just staved off the Hivefleets of Tyranids. YES! I have Tyranids in my traveller universe.

I use warhammer40k figures extensively The space marines look lower tech than than the imperial marines in the grenadier sets but warhammer Marrines look more intimidating....

One more thing.....I've looked at both the Imperium in traveller, and the Imperium in warhammer 40k.....I'd rather live in the traveller imperium........

heh true the Traveller imperium would certainly be a safer place, no warp, no chaos...

I once ran a "Alt-trav-ham" game using the alternity rules I set the game in the traveller universe with the warp and with it chaos slowly invading hyper-space. The emporer from WH40k was to guiding the players along. Now, this all looked good on paper but blew large chunks in the execution. I could not take enuff showers to wash the stench off of me. From this I learned that WH 40k is WH40k and traveller is something else.

I actually want to eventually use the W40K Vehicle design ssytem and design things so that it can model Traveller. At last 40K will have a background that dosent suck!
