[QUOTE="Mortus, post: 8162686, member: 6699767"] My advise is to kill off protagonists of the IP or pretend they never existed. You could also run a game in time and/or place in the IP universe that has not yet been fully explored. In one of my most recent Star Wars FFG games, the heroes of the Rebellion all died and the players were Jedi clones of the padawans Anakin had killed. They were in a Force trance inside Force pods and were stirred awake by Luke’s death in the blast of the Death Star and freed as Yoda’s last act while alive. We all enjoined playing our alternate original trilogy over the course of a year. For Dune I plan on running a game set before the events of the first novel. The players will be members of an isolated Femen cult lead by a pair of rogue Matron Mothers presumed dead ages ago. One has become their living oracle and the other can fold space in a small cave area of Arrakis - not sure how mutated I’ll make them look. Together they have been viewing events among the political players in the setting and sending especially trained teams of Fremen (the PCs) to ensure the survival of Arrakis and the cult. Kind of mixing Dune and Stargate SG-1. 🙂 [/QUOTE]
