New DUNE RPG...

[Tensen_Vil]

...eventually... ;D

my friend and I are working on a DUNE suppliment

for GURPS(Generic Universal Role Playing

System)(http://www.sjgames.com/gurps). It will based

primarily upon the first three books DUNE, DUNE

Messiah, & Children of DUNE. It will be written and

set up hopefully just like an actual GURPS supplement.

We hope, eventually, once it's finished, to be able to

submit it to Steve Jackson GAMES for actual publishing consideration.

We're looking for people willing to help illustrate

and do research/write for the suppliment(Preferably

people at least somewhat familiar with GURPS when it

comes to the writing).

For more info about the suppliment and how you can help go to http://www.geocities.com/tensens_realm/dune.html or e-mail me at tensens_realm@yahoo.com

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Derek

p.s. Anyone wishing to learn about the GURPS rules can download a free verion of GURPS lite(A condenced version of the rules) at http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/lite/

This is in reply to Mahdi's comment about my game on the front page.

"I have no doubt that Mahdi's comments on the rights

issue of the DUNE GURPS suppliment was

good-intentioned and protective of the fans, however,

I feel it may have been somewhat discouraging to those

considering helping.

I have no doubt that, if Steve Jackson GAMES deems our

suppliment worthy, they can easily aquire the rights.

They have done similar things with Terry Pratchett's

'Discworld', Robert E. Howard's 'Conan', and numerous

others. I feel the only obsticle we truely have is

making sure the suppliment is of good quality, both in

Writing, continuity, and art direction. If we

accomplish this, I feel the rest will be a breeze.

However, we cannot do that without the help of those

die-hard fans who post on such message boards as this

sites', the fans who can spot a continuity error at a

40 paces.

I hope some of you will consider assisting, and keep

in mind that many of the books for GURPS have come

from the writings, submissions, and ideas of fans such

as us. Thank you."

I'm not going to post Mahdi's responce to this message as I don't know if he'd want me to.

But I have a strong feeling that this could be a great game, but it's not gonna be without the support of the fans...

Anyways...

Thanks.

You can post it if you want to, although I don't knwo what it would accomplish:)

Like I said, I wish you all the best in your game, I just don't believe that it will get a license.

[Tensen_Vil]

Well, since no one(Except for ORLOK) has offered to help you might just be right... Oh well, My friend and I said that even if no one offered to help we'd make tha game anyway.

So, with only us two doing research expect it(even if it only gets released as a free game) to take a loooong time...

Of course, as I've said before, if people want to help!!!!

There is a GURPS Dune already. I can't find the URL at the minute...

I'd be interested, except that I've not played a GURPS game.

[Tensen_Vil]

There's actually a couple GURPS Dune games... But I find them lacking in many areas, most of all, world info.

I will use them as reference but nothing more.

[nemafakei]

Well, if you have any questions, do post them, and we'll all be happy to answer (although posting them here might mean they don't get seen - try the Duniverse area for weird ones)

[Tensen_Vil]

Well, still, my only real question is, does anyone wanna help?
