On the topic of "RPG News" it would appear that the rights to a DUNE RPG have been acquired by the same folks who make the new Conan RPG, the Star Trek RPG, and are soon launching the John Carter RPG. I figure this could be of interest to folks here, since several of those topics are also threads here.
I assume that they will be using their own 2d20 game mechanic, which makes me a little sad because I still can't decide if I like the 2d20 system. I was so pumped to hear about Conan … then didn't buy it after looking at the quickstart rules. Then I was pumped about John Carter … and even got into the Alpha and Beta levels of playtest … but just didn't get "into" it and passed on the kickstart. (Still not sure if that was a bad idea or not. The minis look so cool.) Now I imagine a similar angst over Dune.
