Back in the grim darkness of 1988 Games Workshop released the first version of its Epic teeny tiny wargames system, Adeptus Titanicus:
Epic battles between giant robots! Ace!
Except all the "giant robots" in that first box were Imperial, so GW needed to come up with a reason why the humans were fighting each other. And so, one back-of-the-napkin later, we get the Horus Heresy, gengineered brother versus gengineered brother, lots of overwrought high drama, about a million tie-in novels, a spinoff tabletop wargame, and soon a role-playing game.
(We're not counting the "3D Roleplay" graphic on the AT box...)
I'm not convinced by this announcement -- what are players going to actually do in this setting? -- but I'm intrigued.
