May your dice chip and shatter.



This is the BEST thread ever.  I'm a HUGE Dune fan, and in fact go by Fremen on most other boards.


Oh...I forgot I was going to comment on Dust.  I haven't actually played it, but I'm a fan of the weird war pulp kind of game, so it caught my eye.  Some friends have played it and were disappointed, echoing this review found on BBG:

Other people have liked it, and I think the comment was not that it was a bad game, it was a good world domination game, but that the theme wasn't pulled through very well.

It is by gaming I set my mind in motion. It is by Dust from FFG that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by gaming I set my mind in motion.

A spicy Dune reference.....karma to you Top!

I've played Dust.  I really wanted to like it, but it fell flat.  The genre is painted on (alt future with humanity fighting over the remnants of a war torn world) and the bits are goofy looking.  I was very disappointed in the game.  I'd play Axis & Allies before I'd play this again.  Try it before you buy it!

I remember a story from a friend of mine who had just finished the final touches on an elven character and set it down.  His hand bumped a pot of black paint, splattering the figure and ruining his work.  He looked at me and said, "Pain by paint induction-I see the logic of it!"

perhaps not the general opinion, but i found the books (esp. the ones after the first) really boring...

why? hm.. the writing style was not fast paced enough and a bit long-drawn..
also, a little facist-feeling..

Nick, as always, your opinion is your entitlement - no matter how wrong it is.  ;D

Just kidding, though I know many who'd disagree with you.
