Arrakis, Dune, desert planet...
Based on Frank Herbert's award winning science fiction novels in the original Dune series, Dune PBeM is a forum-based RPG with players taking control of a noble family, one of the enigmatic Great Schools, or one of the Fremen Sietches on Arrakis.
About
Registered players take on the role of a noble House of the Landsraad, or one of the prestigious Great Schools, or one of the Fremen Sietches of Arrakis, and through political manoeuvring, intrigue, and even warfare, better themselves against their foes.
We use the original Frank Herbert books, and the Dune Encyclopedia, as canonical source material: players are free to draw inspiration from the Prequels but that material is not considered canon (e.g. there is no such thing as a House Vernius).
History
We have been running for six years continually, having started in 2002: no small achievement for a free PBeM. The game began with the in-story year of 10.180: our timeline diverges from established Dune history at that point. The game has an extensive history of some five years: some of this background story is available within our very own Rakis Hoard.
The Forum
We have an active forum where most of the game's activity takes place. Fans of Dune are more than welcome to stop by at our sietch to discuss the Dune novels.
Joining the Game
If you would like to join the PBeM then first check our Players List to see if there is a vacancy. If a position is available then please fill our our Sign Up Form.
Please note that the turnaround can be slow at times; the complexity of the game means we'd rather wait and be patient than sacrifice quality in our storytelling - we are therefore only interested in players who wish to participate for the long term.
The Rules
Our rulebook is restricted to registered players only but if you would like to know more about the game before joining then please contact the GM.
