So, this year promises to be a monumental year of change. The seminal work of Frank Herbert and his Dune series of novels will finally see the light of day as a proper role playing game this year.
Also, there is the grand Dune movie remake by Denis Villeneuve.
Of course, some may remember the first but defunct RPG "Dune, Chronicles of the Imperium" by Last Unicorn Games,,that never made it into retail.
But speaking of the role playing game, what would the fans want to see incorporated?
There is some debate about the prequel novels by Brian Herbert (Frank's son), namely The Butlerian Jihad, The Machine Crusade, and The Battle of Corrin. Those books push the timeline way back but many critics do not consider them as well written as Frank Herbert's originals.
The original Frank Herbert;s Dune novels include:
So I am guessing the core rulebook from Modiphius, will focus on the era from before the fall of The Emperor Shaddam IV up till the rise of the new God Emperor, Leto II Atreides.
Here are the role playing books I think will cover most of the Dune universe:
(a) Dune The Role Playing Game Core Rules
(b) Dune House Atreides Sourcebook
(c) Dune House Corrino Sourcebook
(d) Dune House Harkonnen Sourcebook
(e) Dune Factions: Spacing Guild, Navigators, Bene Gesserit, Bene Tleilax
(f) Dune Eras: The Rise and Fall of Machines and Emperors
Those are just the books that I believe will grant us all everything we need to enjoy role play through the vast series of novels in the Dune universe.
