Share This Post

Earlier this week, Modiphius Entertainment unveiled pre-orders for the latest product in their best-selling Dune: Adventures in the Imperium line — The Great Game: Houses of the Landsraad campaign supplement. This newest expansion for the top-selling 2d20 tabletop role-playing game introduces players and Game Masters to the Landsraad council and some of the mightiest Houses in the Imperium. The 128-page Houses of the Landsraad book moves the in-game action and politicking away from Arakkis and out into the darkness of the Imperium. 

 Houses of the Landsraad

The Landsraad is the great council of the Houses that decides the fate of the Imperium under the will of the Emperor. Meeting on Kaitain, the Imperial homeworld, this chorus of powerful voices meets to make deals, craft alliances, crush enemies, and take vengeance in the halls of power. Here, whole worlds can be laid waste at the stroke of a pen, and riches beyond your wildest dreams can be bestowed for nothing more than a promise of support.

The Great Game: Houses of the Landsraad is a complete 128-page supplement for Dune – Adventures in the Imperium that expands your campaign away from Arrakis into the vast and deadly Imperium. It offers the opportunity for your House to vie for power among its peers. Politic with your rivals, bring power and wealth to your House, and challenge your position among the deadliest powerbrokers of the Landsraad.
