DUNE: questions about a RPG game.

[Aus_Snow]

I think d20 Modern (+ Future, etc.) could do it quite well. Likewise, True20. Or Grim Tales.

I will start thinking about statting things up - hopefully I'll get the time to do so - as I quite like some of that series (of books, that is). If I don't, then best of luck with it, anyway.


edit --- these things I found might, or of course might not, help:

I'd probably base a Dune game on Star Wars SAGA, I think it'd be pretty easy to simulate the base classes and make mentat, etc prestige classes.

Some force powers pretty much approach Bene Gesserit and Honored Matres powers (Mind Trick could easily be the voice). Some of the talents could be just ported for petit perception, Prana-bindu training and the Weirding Way. Likewise for prescience of the Guild Navigators.

I recall that there was *planned* to be a d20 version.

You might have recalled that from the sentence following the one you quoted.

D&D equivalents?

d20 Modern?

Mutants and Masterminds?

D&D equiv...but modern could be worked as well.

You might have recalled that from the sentence following the one you quoted.

No, I recalled that from conversations that were happening at the time, which is why I referred the original questioner to an appropriately aged post about it; just in case he didn't believe your current assertion for some reason (I didn't know you were a WotC/xyz designer at some time, for instance)
