AikiGhost Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 How did you intergrate the magic and psychic powers from Fading Suns? I just used sorcery from RQ3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solardog Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Has anyone read Hunters of Dune? According to Dune Wiki in the Hunters of dune there is an Farzee rifle, that uses tiny molten projectiles for ammunitions. Nanotechnology?

vagabond Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Has anyone read Hunters of Dune? According to Dune Wiki in the Hunters of dune there is an Farzee rifle, that uses tiny molten projectiles for ammunitions. Nanotechnology? It's odd, and to me doesn't seem to fit nanotech, but that apparently is how people describe it: DARPA Starts Cooking up Science Fiction Weapons - MAHEM to shoot molten metal projectiles - Softpedia Such weapons are already in development. -V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hello, First post on the forum by an old-school COC and Runequest player... I am a huge Dune fan and have actually ran two Dune campaigns: one was a home-made 'Hero System' conversion and the other was the 'Chronicles of the Imperium' system by Last Unicorn Games (LUG). There is a fairly good D20 conversion of the LUG game that is floating about the web (called "Dune: A Dream of Rain") -- if for nothing else I found it useful for the background summaries and related information. You can view/download the game from various sites, a good one is Scribd: Dune RPG d20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al. Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I once (10+years ago) ran up a set of RPG rules for Dune basically using Dune (especially the appendix) I cannot find the files now (no doubt victim of one of periodic HDD purges) but can recall some bits Very similar to Traveller (but the essentials could port across) Add Characteristic (scale of 2 to 12) to Skill (scale 0 to nominally 12) roll under on d20 6 Characteristics 12 normal skills Mentat Prana Bindu Presience and no doubt others Were all skills But they added to appropriate characeristic for all tests (i.e. Mentat wants to recall fact about Harkonnens he adds INT+Knowledge+Mentat and indeed whenever INT is to be tested) Sardaukar Fighting Triangles Voice and others Were skills which added to skill+characteristic pool when appropriate to the skill ( i.e. add Voice to CHA+Persuade but to CHA for all tasks) If I were doing it now in BRP? Standard BRP charcateristics (inc Edu) My slimline skills list Mentat, Voice, Prana, Bindu, etc as special skills probably with same EFFECT as LoN Ki Skills BRP already has rules for most of the Tech, would just add Nuke explosion if Lasbeam intersects a Holzman field (as a GM I am more than happy to rule that any character holding one end of aa nuclear explosion is dead I don't feel the need to roll any dice for this) Dragon stats for sandworms just for laziness Al Edited March 26, 2009 by Al.

Bleddyn Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I like the SciFi series... the theatrical style production was refreshing.
