The Dune RPG Gets Spicy With A New Adventure Anthology
Modiphius kicks the new year off with a new adventure anthology and campaign for the Dune RPG. Arrakis is calling.
Dune is back, baybee… though it never really went anywhere. But Modiphius has gathered together some of the most popular digital adventures for the Dune RPG and collected them into a single book alongside three all-new adventures and rules for running the whole thing as a single campaign.
Which means that if you’ve been playing the Dune RPG and are looking for more ways to expand your play, or if you’re thinking of getting into it, there’s a swath of adventures to try. You can really put the game through its paces, do all of the stuff you’d want to:
“Politic over dinner with House Atreides. Encounter the deadly Fremen in the harsh desert. Make deals with ruthless underworld figures to make secret spice deals. The desert planet is waiting for you.”
All of this comes in the form of the Desert Planet Adventure Compendium. Part adventure anthology, part campaign, all Arrakis-focused. So if you want to play elsewhere in the universe, you’ll have to put in that work yourself.
Dune RPG – Desert Planet Adventure Compendium Vol. 1
The time has come for you to venture to Arrakis. Your House needs spice and this is the place to find it. While it might be freely available in the Imperium at large, it is found far cheaper among the thieves and smugglers who are always looking for customers. But you are not the only ones looking to make a deal. In the alleys of Arrakeen are spies and assassins of every caliber. There is nothing you can find that someone will not kill to take from you. On Arrakis the stakes are always high, and the desert hides all manner of buried secrets.
This adventure compendium pulls together seven adventures, four previously digital-only adventures, as well as three new adventures. All are set on Arrakis, which means the book provides new details on Arrakeen, introducing a wealth of new locations and characters, expanding on the information found in Sand and Dust.
The 126-page full-color hardcover Desert Planet – Adventure Compendium Vol. 1 includes:
- Expanded detail on the city of Arrakeen, its people and places, for use in further adventures. Each location offers a wealth of potential encounters with statistics for the major characters.
- Three all new adventures designed to introduce Arrakis to your group and begin your campaign.
- Heat and Dust: An invitation to dine with House Atreides brings an opportunity to make new friends and enemies.
- Blood in the Water: Searching for a lost water shipment turns out to be far more trouble than the characters expect.
- A Storm of Blades: A Fremen asks for the characters’ help to rescue their cousin from a Harkonnen prison.
- Four full adventures collected in print for the first time:
- Shaitain’s Bargain: Where a job to map some caves brings the characters into contact with the deadly Fremen, and the ruthless Harkonnen.
- Coriolis Storm: A rescue attempt to a remote weather station traps the characters in a deadly situation.
- Time is a Narrow Door: The characters mount a rescue of a kidnapped young noble, who is not the prisoner they expect him to be.
- Desert Flower: An imperial artist is mounting an exhibition, and when things go wrong your characters get the blame.
- Each adventure can be played as a standalone scenario, but guidance is included on how to collate them all into a single campaign.
