Looks like trouble was brewing at a gaming tavern in my town:

Not sure the details but this was on their FB Page.
Due to recent developments, our Warhammer 40,000 inspired theme night has been canceled, to be replaced with “40 Karat Battle Hammer” – a theme night dedicated to the satire of vast tyrannical empires in a distant science fiction future, and the equally tyrannical companies that produce fiction about them.
Forget the power of dictionaries and encyclopedias, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the ideas of progress and understanding, for in the bleak darkness of the far future there is only cease and desist orders. There is no fandom amongst the stars, only an eternity of lawsuits and briefs, and the laughter of thirsting lawyers.
***As a point to clarify any confusion that might arise we offer this simple guide:
Any and all references to the Emperor of Mankind, The Imperium, Navigators are clear and evident references to the Dune universe.
Any and all references to the fanatics of the Red Redemption are clear and evident references to the Laser Burn universe.
Any and all references to the 8 Pointed Star of Chaos and/or the powers of Chaos are clear and evident references to Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion universe.
Any and all references to Imperial Guard are clear and evident references to Dune, Star Wars, the Praetorian Guard of Rome,
Any and all references to Orc/Ork are clear and evident uses of the Giodelic Gaelic word meaning “young pig”
Any and all references to Eldar is a clear and evident reference to Old West Norse onomastic meaning “Warrior of Fire”
Any and all references to Space Marines are clear and evident references to Bob Olsen's short story “Captain Brink of the Space Marines” (Amazing Stories, Vol 7, November 8, 1932)
Any and all references to Power Armor are clear and evident references to Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers universe.
Any and all references to the Aquila, Imperial Eagle, Two-Headed eagle, and Eagle Displayed are Heraldic terms of blazonry and are clear and evident references to the Byzantine Empire.
Any and all references to Biomorphs are clear and evident references to Nikolay Perumov's “Череп на Рукаве”
Any and all references to Xenomorphs are clear and evident references to the Alien universe
Any and all references to Inquisition and/or Inquisitors are references to the “Inquisitio Haereticae Pravitatis” of the Roman Catholic Church.
I wonder when someone is going to turn the tables and sue GW for their blatant rip off of EVERYBODY ELSE'S Intellectual Property?
