Since Warhammer 40K is a recent big topic of discussion, I wanted to see if anyone knows more about Grimdark Future and its developer, OnePageRules.
For those who aren't aware, Grimdark Future is essentially a game & setting clone of Warhammer 40K with the serial numbers filed off. It's got Space Marine equivalents, Chaos, Ork, Eldar, Tau, Tyranid, Necrons, etc. plus a few other factions for good measure.
Have any 40K gamers tried the game itself? How does it hold up against recent & older editions of 40K. Has OnePageRules made any political statements that would let us see where they stand?

A rules system should be as simple and fast as possible while still doing an adequate job of representing the simulated system. The idea that the ruleset should be made worse under the logic that good users will put up with it and bad users won't is cryptocurrency logic. If you want to gatekeep, make it targeted to disproportionately hurt bad users.
THAC0 is easy to understand but was uninintuitive enough to keep out the filthy unwashed hordes.
