Hi Christopher, and the rest of the board! PBEM Dune manages to remain a small part of daily life. Currently I'm running one game of Heretics of Dune, and...
Actually, the IJers are taking a short hiatus. We were about to start a new one, but I got cold feet (as far as GMing it goes). I think someone else...
... So would I, but I don't have a copy of the game any more. I'd play on- line in real time if the board, etc. is available on-line or for download (maybe by...

... The site Archives may have commentary on the last period of real time play. There were game systms that had marginal success but I never heard or read any...
I wrote the Dune Emulator which allows play over a LAN or the internet. It should be fully working for the basic game - there are some problems with the...
Hello, First of all, I wanna thank you for the wonderful Dune emulator, which, although it has some bugs, is the easiest way to enjoy with my friends a good...
There's a program called Vassal which alot of boargamers use to play online. You can find it here: http://www.vassalengine.org/community/index.php From this...

Hi Jonathan, I tried testing your Emulator a couple times I think about 2 years ago?. Like you said we had about 4 people and then it tapered off. I would be...
...which would be me. :-) I just found this board while poking around looking for Dune-related stuff and thought that I'd drop in and say "hi". Looks like...
Great question new guy! (Jeff) :) I far prefer face-to-face games. The intrigue in meetings off in a dark corner of my house are some of the most exciting...
Glad that I could stoke that fire under you! I agree that the excitement comes from the personal interaction, but it seems that many people don't get the...
hi new guy. Several years ago, I introduced Dune to a group of freinds, and we played it like 4-5 times, but the inconsistent rules really put a damper on the...
Hi Sitko, An interesting question to be sure. I must be in the minority here, but I don't think that the rules are nearly so bad as some people say. Sure, they...
Literally years ago, I was involved in a heated discussion on the Prescience/TT issue. Just to let you in on my reasoning, cause apparently you play in the...
Reminds me of a heated discussion about ornithopters that I had with a friend some 15 years ago. Well, it was only heated insomuch as he got a bit heated. I...
I also think that the rules are not that bad. Some things could be explained better, but if you follow carefully what it's written, there is very little space...
Hi newbie(s), This is probably only my 3rd post. Had nothing much to say previously. I have played about 6+ ftf Dune games but that was years ago. But I don't...
Of course this is completely academic, I just like arguing, discussing, etc. This is after all a discussion board, right? Random Thoughts: I tend to think of...
Hi Jeff, Welcome! Our group tries to get Dune to the table 3-4 times a year. We have a core group of 4 who are die-hard fans. We schedule the game based on ...
... Indeed it is. Sounds like we have the love of debate in common. ... I tend to avoid comparing games to books/movies/real world too closely. There are many...
Thanks Dan. Glad to be here! Sounds like your group works pretty much the same as mine, the only difference being that we try to play more often (read: I try...
Welcome Jeff! I came up against the interesting situation of trying to implement the Truthtrance rules in code while programming the Dune Emulator. I decided...
