Dune PBEM

I'm sure Tom mentioned something about doing Dune PBEM ages ago, but it's never taken off as that I'm aware.

There's certainly a Vassal module, although it does look a little clumsy.

So, I think this is a really great idea, and I'd love to do it. So unless the last attempt died off for practical reasons (such as Dune being poorly suited to PBEM or similar) I fancy resurrecting it and pushing it forward.

Who wants to play?

Yeah count me in Matt.

I'm up for that as well.

Me too, but this time, we really need someone who's going to be comitted to keeping it going.

I am definitely in

I would be keen to actually be in a PBEM at F:AT that finished ;-p

And since I have a copy of the game that doesn't look like it will get played due to lack of opponents, unless Notahandle or MattDP can scrounge up the other five, then this might my only chance to play in the foreseeable future

I hear you brother. I've tried to organize 2 games of Dune in the past few months to no avail. Hockey playoffs killed the first attempt and two last minute cancellations ( 1 a hangover) killed the other.

Oi !!!

Get the fuck over to the Galactica thread and take your girly turn before your sorry human ass gets toasted.

Some games work better than others in PBEM. Offhand, it seems like Dune would be about average. It doesn't have any good opportunities for simultaneous play, but it doesn't have any hideous chokepoints where there is a lot of back-and-forth play.
