I am a new user of this site and have found it to be just what I needed to keep track of NPCs and information in my Dark Heresy campaign.
Could you add Dark Heresy as a new game system? That would be great, then I could search for others who use it, to get inspiration and share my ideas with others who want to know of Dark Heresy.
Especially since I believe the game sold out in the first day or two of being released. I guess someone thought it would be a threat to the core Warhammer 40k business. It is sad I was really wanting to use some of my old Call of Chuthulu adventures as seeds for Dark Heresy.
From what I have been hearing on the podcasts is that GW has a history of killing projects that have a highly positive response to that they feel could threaten sales in their core products. A pen and paper RPG that was wildly popular caused fear that the client base would move away from the entrenched figurine market to the less lucrative pen and paper RPG market.
Well, the major difference between books and miniature games is that a gamer only pays once for each book, while they'll often buy copy after copy of the same miniature (all but the most rare and expensive ones). More profit for their effort.

Too bad that Black Industries will no longer be publishing RPG books :( I'm a fan of the Warhammer 40k universe, and Dark Heresy looks kind of cool.
Oh how I wonder what Games Workshop was thinking...
"It sold out already...let's cancel it!"
Dumb, dumb, dumb...
