Dune would make for an interesting COIN game. But the license for Dune is very expensive from what I have heard, which is why FFG reskinned the Dune boardgame to "rex" in their Twilight Imperium setting.
The Reclaimers, and their "be strong in the wastes" abilities are drawn a little from the Fremen though.
This seems great. Is a departure for the COIN series to be ahistorical, but I love the concept. I loved the KSR mars books and I like the idea of incorporating some of the politics of that world to animate the theme and context.
I would definitely be interested in printing and playing if you get to that point. Or play testing.
Sounds interesting, but you're overlooking an opportunity you have so since you're freed from the constraints of history. I would avoid the script that each faction has one other that is most naturally friendly. Design the game as a true four-sided affair, with the potential for any partnership.
Looks interesting. If no commercial release you should make up files for PnP.
ReplyDeleteI certainly will do that. I've also been looking at seeing if i can import stuff into Tabletop simulator.
DeleteI would like to help out on setting up a TTS mod. If you're interested in that, let me know: BGG username miriku, or me@miriku.com
DeleteSounds awesome - would love to give this a shot. I could also imagine this as a game set in the Dune universe

Looks fantastic, would love to give this a spin, if you ever set it up as a PnP that would be most excellent!
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't get a formal publication. I will likely do a P&P version.
DeleteWow. Just that.
ReplyDeleteCheers! I think :)
DeleteThis is awesome! I hope you do get this published in the future. :) If not I'll be sure to do a PnP of it.
ReplyDeleteWill do :)

ReplyDeleteYou should totally make that game. It's not the game I wanted to make though, so *shrug*
