Have you ever wanted to experience a new reality and learn about the mysteries of life? Well, today is your lucky day Fremen because Modiphius Entertainment has announced their new core rulebook for Dune – Adventures in the Imperium: Sand and Dust! Now you can live out your dreams of being an inhabitant of the harsh and hostile world of Arrakis! A world that never receives rain but its sands are the only home to ever lucrative spice.
In the backwaters of the vast Imperium of humanity lies the hostile desert world of Arrakis. It is a deadly place, where no drop of rain falls and the people live a sparse existence in the baking cities of the northern pole. But Arrakis is the most important planet in the entire universe, for it is only here that you can find the spice melange.
The spice is everything. To some, it is a way to extend life, to others a way to see into the future. It is the key to wealth and power in the Imperium, and many of the noble Houses will stop at nothing to control it in any way they can. The cities of Arrakeen and Carthag are full of agents and spies, all looking to gain an advantage for their faction, and ready to kill to maintain the power of their masters. Will Arrakis be the place your characters prove the power of their House, or will their blood be spilled on the unforgiving sands?
