ModiphiusEntertainment Dune RPG Core Rulebook, New Version of the 2D20 System, Science Fiction Strategy Role Play Game, For Ages 14 and up

The Dune RPG is such a cool game, definitely more of a narrative based concept. If you’re looking for lots of combat (like dnd), this isn’t the game for you. It’s much more narrative focused where combat isn’t the main focus. If you want to tell cool Dune stories with your friends, this game is for you. The game book is especially high quality, beautiful layout and game content.

The 2d20 rules are fine, and the book is gorgeous. If you want to play House Atreides on Arrakis, you're good to go. If you want to play someone or somewhere else, well, there's not a lot for you in this book. The first supplement will be about Arrakis, so there's more of that of you want it. If you want to play a sci-fi game in the Dune universe though, you'll have to come up with almost everything yourself. There are very brief descriptions of Caladan and Geidi Prime and a handful of other planets that appear in the books, but not enough to be able to base a campaign there without you doing most of the work. This isn't necessarily bad, I personally love doing that sort of thing. But know going in that this book allows you to be a Harkonnen or an Atreides, and if you want to be anything else, you're on your own. So, fear not. Fear is the mind-killer.

The actual work on display and the thoughtfulness of the approach and the fidelity to the source is remarkable. this was CLEARLY a work of love and deserves all the praise it gets on that front. That said, while the initial mechanics are reasonably easy, they get layered and intricate very quickly, but as this accurately reflects the source materials, that's appropriate. The game is NOT a D&D style RPG, at all, it is deliberate and methodical, your characters are not solo, they are linked intrinsically to a House, and most resolutions are less about specific die rolls than about both player and game master negotiating the abilities, and attributes which will be in play. Again this is HIGHLY thematic, but it is not quick and requires a solid understanding of what the game specifically IS and IS NOT in order to get the most out of it.

This was a well presented representation of the setting

Excellent looking book with gorgeous art and design. Never played a game from this publisher but rules look solid and the playstyle has a very narrative feel to it.Only negative is the book arrived with a minor mashed damage on one corner like it was thrown into box and landed that corner first. Otherwise beautiful purchse.

I have been waiting DECADES for a good roleplaying game to be released in the United States!We finally have a book that does the universe justice! Am SOOOO happy with this purchase, it is SUCH a great read. Picked up a copy for my brother as well and we are so excited to get a game started!Worth the price, worth the wait. Love it!

Fantastic . The spice must flow

2d20 system with this game is very narritive driven. Character creation is super easy. You can create a story filled with political intrge and amazing drama.
