[Interest Check] Dune: Adventures in the Imperium

Hello all! It took me a while, but I have found my footing on the forum, and am enjoying a couple of games as a player now. So I'm considering trying my hand at GM'ing a system I've been itching to try every since I got my hands on it, Modiphius' Dune: Adventures in the Imperium. My in-person group is in the midst of a different game that is taking a while, so coming here to get this one out of my system seemed like a good idea.

It would start in the year 10,186 AG. For those not as familiar with the universe, that is about five years before Emperor Shaddam IV hands Arrakis over to house Atreides. Which means I won't necessarily be sticking strictly to the events as they happen in the novels; the actions of the PC's in this game could end up disrupting that storyline and creating an alternate reality. So let me know below if you'd be interested in something like this.

ETA: I should probably add that I'd be taking a maximum of 5 players for this, and house and character generation would be standard according to the core book.

Dune has been in my list of games to try out for too long now, so I'd be interested. :-) I have read the novel (just the first one), so I have the basic knowledge about the setting.

Put me down for tentative interest

I'm interested in joining. I have run Dune here on GP as a Gm but would love to try it as a player.

I would be interested. Have not played that game but read, reread and reread Frank’s books over the years since high school.

I have the rulebook and would be very interested.

GM please consider me for the game. I’m played the introductory adventures (and suffered my first and only PC death - the Mentat Sharah Fell who sacrificed herself to Shai-Hulud to save the rest of the party), and I’m waiting to GM the system for my game group. I’ve read all of the original six novels, am also a fan of the classic board game and love the political machinations of the Duniverse

P.S. shout out to @Stefron who ran the games I played on here! Great GM

I volunteer to be the Navigator. Wouldn't that be fun? Someone following along on a permafried?

Ok, so it looks like I have enough people to give this a shot. Though it should be mentioned that the game, so far, does not allow for full-fledged Navigator PC's. The closest is a talent that allows you to play a failed Navigator with some limited prescience. And while reading the novels won't be strictly necessary, reading the first one will definitely help. Unless this game goes on much longer than expected, I doubt we'd even get as far as the timeframe of Children of Dune.

The fairest way I can think of to handle this, since we do have more interested players than I can handle, would be order of expressed interest. Since character creation needs to wait until after house creation. So Unacceptableusername, did you want in, or would you rather be on a list of alternates?

@Moridin77, if you’ve more candidates than player roles, I’ll happily move to the wait list since I’ve played the system before. The more people that experience and enjoy the Dune, the more chance we’ll have to play together in the future
