OTHER GAME DETAILS
Game themes for Dune are Intrigue, Politics, and Conflict.
I'm thinking of setting the game in the time around or just after the Emperor announces that House Harkonnen will lose their 80 year governorship of Arrakis with House Atreides taking over in fief-complete. What will your House do in this time, during the Harkonnen withdrawal and the change to Atreides rule? The decisions made during this time could secure the prosperity of the House or establish enemies that will haunt its future.
While Arrakis will feature, possibly heavily based on the time period and your actions as players, I'd also like to visit some of the other worlds of the Imperium. In the end, I'll be using what you produce in Session 0 on the 16th Jan to prepare the scenarios going forward. In the end, all roads lead to Arrakis. Especially in this turbulent time.

Interested!
Sent application.

I have the FGU license on Steam, and multiple purchases on Paizo.com, I will be synchronizing both to my account here soon. And I need to put up a photo or icon…

I will be spending this week learning how to use all the new features with the Unity upgrade, and finish reading the DUNE: AITE rulebook (PDF) so I can be ready for the game start.

Also, +1 Vote for House Atreides. (GRIN)

Welcome Giorgio. The House in the game won't be House Atreides. Their story is still to be played out. You'll create your House with the other players in the first session.

The 2d20 system is fairly straight forward and the basics can be got from the Quickstart that's available, and linked in the GM announcements. If you've already got the Dune corebook though, great.
