... It's of course a detail, and not relevant to the TT discussion, but I would not allow Harkonnen to influence that way the prescience. The prescience allows...
... You don't have to apologize! That's exactly one of the reasons the dune yahoo groups exists! ... You are right on this one, but I think that the other...
... If I correctly understood the sentence, I absolutely disagree on this! Clearly written rules should allow anyone to clearly decide which moves are valid...
The only thing Truthtrance and Prescience have in common is that they could potentially be used to glean the same information. However, they operate very...
... That ruling is illegal; no player has to designate cards for use prior to loading his battle wheel. It's also too `fiddly'; either a player is to be...
... IMO, truthtrance is not a lie detector – if you look at the little drawing on the card, it doesn't show a machine, but rather a pair of eyes drawing the...
... I am not sure I understand what you are saying. The rules say that when you are preparing a battle plan you have to select the number and put the leader...
Dave, I agree with you but it's pointless to continue to argue with someone one who wants the rule to be a certain way regardless. He wants the rule to read...
... As of August 2008 I was AREA ranked top 5 on the list of Dune players (active and inactive) of 103 players in total. I've played 30-40 tournament games of...
Your objective citation that your desired reading in between the lines was what the designers intended? Actual evidence please, not bluster. EVIDENCE that...
... Of course it isn't a machine, this is the Dune universe after the Butlerian Jihad. We've been over this before, but the Bene Gesserit have specialized...
It is interesting to see the intentions of the card documented in (at least one of) the designer's own words. Who provided this answer and when was it...
... So your last tournament game was about 18 years ago, and my last one was about 6 days ago? Nice! With respect to the "BS" part, I'm assuming at this...
Dear Members, This certainly has been a lively, spirited, and sometimes passionate discussion about the use of the Truth Trance. At this point, I feel the worm...
Of course truth trance isn't a machine, its just similiar to a machine...I never claimed it WAS a lie detector MACHINE...machines were outlawed after the...
Good idea to wrap this up! The discussion has been fun, and certainly woken up what had seemed a moribund group, but that worm has indeed by now gone to meet...
It will be interesting to see what they come up with for Truthtrance when they re-issue the Twilight Imperium version of Dune. Good to see the discussion board...
Hi, We'll be playing the Advanced Game, all optionals. 4 players are already signed up, so we need 2 more. If you are interested, it is this thread on the...
The more I play the game and think about it, the collusion between two players to lock a sietch seems unrealistic and against the spirit of the game. If you...
We played without the restriction to moving into sietches. THe Storm decided who chose battles first in the city until (or if) eliminated, and then proceeded...
Years ago, when I last played it f2f, we'd often, would make deals in games, or just guilt people into helping us lock the sietchs, as one player was pulling...
I agree that this rule is not realistic, but I don't really see this as a problem. Many dune rules are absolutely unrealistic, but it's just a game with a cool...
As I was reading David's thoughts, I had an idea...what if in normal play, there was a limit to 2 players per stronghold, but, add a clause that states IF a...
You could also open up only one or two strongholds . Say that Arrakeen and Carthag lose their occupancy restrictions after the Shield Wall has been blown. Or...
