We all agree that Dune is the greatest game in the known universe, but there are heretics who do not have such beliefs or have tried the game. My question is...
For myself, I don't like reading rules before I start playing a game any more than I want people to try to explain the rules to me beforehand, so when I...
We use this formula for newbies. Do the best you can and if you make a mistake that we all see the first time I will tell you about it. The second time you...
As I was reading these messages, a thought occurred to me...maybe we could come up with a "sample" game that would teach the rules as people played. It would...
This is a pet peeve of mine. Choosing the people you want to play in your circle does not make me think that you are a homosexual. So, I must assume you are...
I agree completely, and apparently forgot to say something along those line...how caucasian of me....I was a bit offended by that usage myself...as my brother...
I'm gay and see it both ways (maybe I should have been bi?). During my last gig, I mentored a new Instructor (a recent college grad), and we were on travel in...
I like Sitko's idea about a scripted first game turn (or two). I have an old Milton-Bradley game called Summit that does exactly that. There are cards the have...
I signed up for this group because I'm interested in Dune, not in a discussion of such personal things as various group members' sexual orientation. If you...
Tom's post included comments about the Baron, the Dune Encylcopedia, the Fremen, and Duncan Idaho. For me personally, the Baron's sexuality in itself is a...
I agree completely with you Stephan...but I would take it a step further...Tom was answering to another's questionable use of the term "gay", and I feel that...
Stephen, I appreciate your position, but you got to admit that this is a bit beyond talking about the game. Yes, Tom did include some remarks about the game. ...
I don't think Susan's comment was intended as an attack on Tom, nor any other poster for that matter. Just because she may not be a moderator does not make...
Please discontinue discussion about what is or is not appropriate on this board. All such inquiries/comments should be directed to the Moderator, not sent to...
In Chris' spirit for trying to start a conversation ... I've found that while moderating pbm or pbem Dune games, or as a player in face to face games, the...
Most lovely use of the voice is when that one BG spiritual advisor ceases to coexist in Arakeen or Carthag when either the Hark or Atredies has revealed the...
I definitely agree with Chris on this one. My favorite House to play is the BGs. There is nothing sweeter than using the voice to cause a lasegun/shield ...
One of my fondest Dune memories is the time I was in an Alliance that was about to win or lose based on the battle I (the BG) was in. I "misplayed" it severely...
My last successful combat related win was as Bene Gesserit against Atreides. It was a pretty even combat and if Atreides didn't win, I was earmarked to win a...
Although 'Feyd and the children' may be attractive give me the 'ruthless killer' Count 'manners like a rabbit' Fenring anytime. I like playing weak to make the...
The Count? Well, he is a man of letters (usual sealed with contact poison). And then there's poor Guild Rep ... always losing combats and getting sent off to...
True big stacks should match the big stones and the big money. I ,too,believe in the annoying flea-flicker tactics. Sometimes you can't choose who you play...
Ah, but one of my favorite remembrances was the time years ago when I as Atreides ran into a pile of all 20 freshly landed Emperor infidels in Arakeen with...

Mike, I think you raise a good point about moving out some of the at start forces for the 10 legion stacks. For Atreides, I like Rim Wall West if there isn't a...
Another interesting division of Atredies forces is to move exactly 7, Move 7 onto a spice blow - especially if it's out of range for the Fremen. If 3 seitch...
I was under the impression that if you lose your 7 troops to a worm, you do not get the Kwisatz Haderach since the troops were not lost in battle. Different...
Much of my gaming roots comes from the play-by-mail Diplomacy hobby. I started back in the early 80's, and published a fan zine when I was 13 or so, like many...
I took a look at Brian's official Dune web site (http://www.dunenovels.com) and this appears to be the order: The Butlerian Jihad The Machine Crusade The...
My first mail here (although I have read all the posts for a years or so here), and I'm using it to support this idea. I think it is great, if all of us would...
