Well, considering the fact that I have never heard of WarHammer untill now,
Dungeons & Dragons is the closest analogy I could some up with.

I haven't read the 2000 rules yet.

This one sounds fun. None of us have ever done anything like it before, so
this one might work out the best ...

I don't have any constraints except this:
1) homework all week. it would have to be on a weekend.

Anything but medieval. I would be at a HORRIBLE disadvantage in a medieval
setting. 2 reasons:
1) I have 2 Knights in my entire collection
2) Neither of them have any weaponry
I am personally all for the 'space' theme .. lasers, rockets, hover, mechs,
etc etc etc.

Somebody in Columbus' floor would do nicely :) Give me an address, a date, and
I'll be there...
