In 2000 a limited edition of just 3000 copies was sold at GenCon before the company was acquired by WotC. But alas the game was doomed from the very beginning. There was even a pen & paper RPG set into the called Dune: Chronicles of the Imperium by Last Unicorn Games. Especially the Dune computer games by Westwood Games were big hits, but they were only loosely based on the story of the book, too, and only focused on war on Arrakis. The David Lynch movie was very ambitious but was not really close to the novel. I also enjoyed Dune Messiah to an extent, but IMHO the story started to get a bit too weird for my taste starting with Leto’s transformation in Children of Dune.īut it seems although Dune and its sequels (and prequels) are very popular, transferring the story to other media almost always failed. Since then I have read the first novel several times. From the first moment I saw this cover I was intrigued. My father owned a hardcover version of the book that had the painting of a sandworm on its cover. I’ve read several of the sequels but in my opinion the first book was the best.
