Description:

10188 A.G.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV reigns over the Galactic Imperium, House
Harkonnen maintains its CHOAM Directorship of Arrakis, House Ginaz barely
escaped total destruction through aid of House Atreides.  The aid came in
the form of House Minor Troy, and this is their saga.

This game uses a modified version of Last Unicorn Games' DUNE: RPG.  To
join, you must send me an outlined character history/idea, which will
allow me to make my decision to move you on to the final and full-fledged
character creation.

You will play one of the members of House Troy and it's entourage,
fighting for the success of the House Minor, your character, and whoever
your character has allegiance to.  This game is all about plans within
plans, things not seeming what they truly are, true to the Herbert DUNE
novels.

This game requires some knowledge of the DUNE Universe, specifically circa
the book DUNE and the concurrent movies, but I am assisting best I can
with 'suggested topics' once to twice monthly to help inform players on
topics they wish to know about.

This game focuses on character evolution and interaction, not
hack-and-slash.  It is a story, where the stats are for my use only for
arbitration (that, hopefully, should be rare).

This game requires a 1/weekly minimum posting of 1 page of quality text.
