Dune Core Book

DUNE: CHRONICLES OF THE IMPERIUM's great success is that it gets the feel right. You play important characters in an vast, majestic world where politics and religion and ancient feuds intertwine in complex relationships that subtly but tangibly influence everything you're involved in. Like a lot of licensed settings, there's the question of how your characters will be as important as the heroes you've already read about it, but looking at the Houses and guilds and their fragile relationships, you can find all sorts of opportunities for dramatic upheaval. The universe of DUNE is a volatile one, and this game gives you more than enough to start doing something with it.
