Arrakis. Dune. Desert planet. Not one drop of water falls there– now you can visit in Sand & Dust: The Arrakis Sourcebook.

Whether you read that first line in the whispery voice of Kyle MacLachlan or the whispery voice of Timothée Chalamet, Arrakis is a planet unlike any other. This vast, desert world is the only known source of the spice, Melange. It extends life, expands consciousness, and is the only thing that makes the Universe possible.

And in the new Dune RPG, Dune: Adventures in the Imperium, you have a chance to visit the fabled planet. A new sourcebook, Sand & Dust: The Arrakis Sourcebook, available now in PDF and print.

Sand & Dust: The Arrakis Sourcebook – $42

This is a pre-order expected to ship in Mid-February 2022. 

ARRAKIS: SOURCE OF THE 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 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?

This sourcebook for the Dune: Adventures in the Imperium roleplaying game, takes you to the desert world of Arrakis and explores the secrets of the spice. Visit the hidden sietches of the Fremen to learn the mysteries of their culture. Walk without rhythm in the great deserts and perhaps see one of the incredible sandworms. Trade secrets with spies and agents in the bustling marketplace of Arrakeen or the alleys of Carthag. Arrakis is a planet of mysteries and danger, and those who underestimate it never leave.
