Description:

Great Houses of the Landsraad is a new strategy game based on the Dune
universe in 10101 AG (many decades before Leto Atreides is even born so
everyone has a free slate). Each player will control several characters in
charge of one of the Great Houses of the Imperium, and decide the path
each House will take.

This is NOT a wargame!!! While using military force is definitely an
option, spies and assassins are the preferred means of striking at your
enemies.

There are currently 8 Great Houses available, and the game will start on
the 2nd (with the first orders submitted on the 9th). Turns will be
processed weekly. There's currently a YahooGroups site, along with a basic
website with the rules and some background information.

Email me with a list of at least three Houses (in order of preference).
Click on "House Descriptions" of the website for a list of available
Houses.
