BEYOND ARRAKIS A MILLION WORLDS – AND A MILLION ENEMIES
The Landsraad – that is the great council of houses that decides the fate of the Empire according to the will of the Emperor. On Kaitain, the homeworld of the Empire, this choir of powerful voices meets in the halls of power to reach agreements, forge alliances, destroy enemies and exact revenge. Here, entire worlds can be reduced to rubble with the stroke of a pen and riches beyond your wildest dreams can change hands for nothing more than a promise of support.
The Great Game: Houses of the Landsraad is a 128-page supplement that takes your campaign beyond the borders of Arrakis and into the vast and deadly Imperium. Seize the opportunity to make your House triumph in the power struggle with its peers. Dance with your rivals in the political arena, bring influence and wealth to your House, and assert your position among the Landsraad’s deadliest decision-makers.
The Great Game: Houses of the Landsraad includes:
– Comprehensive details on the nature and politics of the Landsraad and the complex relationships between the Houses that keep the Empire running.
– Secrets on the art of the Kanly – the rules for assassination by poison or blade – and how to wage deadly assassin warfare.
– Expanded notes on the MAFEA, with options and new talents for MAFEA agents as player characters.
– Full dossiers on a number of the Landsraad’s major houses, including the fallen House Richese, the aggressive House Moritani, the noble House Taligari and the devious House Wydras.
– A guide to the Navigators and the mysterious Space Guild and their place in the Empire, with new talents and focuses for Guild agents as player characters.
– Details on space travel and travelling through the Imperium – whether without the Guild or with one of its Heighliners in a single breath.
– New rules for creating millions of worlds in the known universe and beyond. Create your House’s homeworld, your enemy’s domain, or a new planet to exploit.
– A complete system for managing your Houses, allowing you to create and expand domains, manage new planetary facilities, and make sense of the time between adventures as your House grows in power and influence.
The Empire awaits you and your House. Take your place in the mighty ranks of the Landsraad. Where will you stand? One step away from the throne or in the sights of your enemies?
