Troy said "your Sword Master, Slash Lover" and I was like "great name"

You said it was a brutal satire generations ago and all I heard in my head was; "Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Arrakis, where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean."

Ross knows so many big and obscure words. He did this in the Blades in the Dark series I watched him in. Very awesome addition to any game.

“That’s what Prana Bindu do!” -Becca Scott, 2022. Glorious :)

"Skid Maher is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."

That confrontation between the two swordmasters gave me goosebumps.

1:49:30 Correction (and a book spoiler): Gholas of this time period cannot regain the memories of their former lives. The Tleilaxu plot in Dune Messiah included learning how to do this. Duncan was the first.

Troy KILLED it. What a great job weaving the story & being all these NPC's. When the 2 sword masters were crossing verbal blades, I was so immersed I tensed up & started reaching for my Crysknife...till i realized I don't have one. lol Bravo! :)

“Bo knows Call of Cthulhu “ needs to be a shirt

A small correction re. the rules: at 1:01:22 - p. 145 of the rulebook states that when you have a focus or a statement, you have to roll equal or under the target number (a skill or a drive) to get a critical success. So in fact Noura got 4 successes -> 2 Momentum for the team. Also, as someone else stated here in the comments section, Navigators never show up in public, they are a huge hush-hush and the outmost valuable asset of the Guild (p.49 of the rulebook). Otherwise everything is just nearly flawless - one of the greatest roleplaying shows I have watched in my life! ❤

Awesome scene at 1:58:40 where the clone remarks that you are no more fremen than I am my past...thats the gist of it ... brilliant play ... well done

The only thing that bumbs me is we only get 10 episodes of this. What a phenomenal cast!! Love that Noura is becoming a mainstay of the network she has so much charisma and passion. Ross elevates every session he is in, he fits right in at the GCP. Becca, what can you say about her shes one of the biggest names in the scene I'm always stoked when she graces the naish with her presence. Skid, you're the man!

That is a stellar cast. Looking forward to watching.

Everyone raving about this being a dream team and meanwhile I've only gotten into watching BDS and Spelljammer on the D&D channel and have no idea who the 3 guys are. JFC, this episode was amazing! The character creation video seemed like it took 15 minutes it flew by so fast. Everyone is truly amazing. I'm guessing by this point that Noura has about 8 closets in her place full of just the right stuff for every character to cosplay as. The art was wonderful as well. Everything was painted so deeply that you could feel like you were there the entire show. But here's the most extraordinary thing. You're the first series I've watched that streamed on Twitch that the audio was amazing. Please for the love of everything share that with everyone else. No mic issues, the levels were perfect, and I could listen at the same volume I watch all the other videos on YT. I'd planned to start watching a bunch of the series on here once I had wrapped up some other series, mainly because of Noura and Becca plus the one with Paula Deming, but I will likely try some of the others out too. Wow, this was so great.

INSANE cast, loved the session zero and the start to the story with the characters! Thank the dice gods i found this channel.

Everyone looks cool & excited to kick off the adventure.....post show edit....Wow what an intriguing start to the series and a dramatic end to the episode.

The addition of Will Pottorff to the network is also going to be great… love that art. 😀

Holy shit, I love Will Potorff's art so much! I've never seen a piece of his that I disliked. Glass Cannon is really lucky to have gotten him on board.👍

My dad loves dune and I love dnd so we are watching this together!! It helps me understand the books so much more

"Don't talk to the cops" from snobby Aurelius oh my god, I almost died, dude. Love Skid.

Nora DOES look amazing!

Wow, loving this already. Congrats to everyone involved!

The sheer amount of tension buildup in this session is awesome, really good writing

OMG the Foundry comment. I get that all the time. As a Dune noob I am really enjoying this so far. fantastic roleplayers.

These cosplays and makeup are so good 🔥🔥🔥

I cannot wait to see this series explored by this cast. I'm sooo excited by Jo mcAdam joining the blades game too! Spoilt this year :)

That was badass! Quite the cliffhanger. I'm hooked!

That was such a pleasure to watch! Some of the most talented role[playing I have ever seen! Troy, you are amazing :))

Good grief this was amazing. First time seeing this channel and I'm most impressed and entertained. Very well done to all!

This is fantastic, and thank you so much for the excellent audio quality. As a big time Dune fan, really curious to see you all put this system to use! Anyone else run games in Dune? Pros, cons, tips?

Great cast and love the Dune universe it inspired my favorite 40K.

YES. As expected, this was juicy.

This is fantastic quality, thank u

Great scenario, and great storytelling!

Aurelius looks like GARY OLDMAN. That was bugging me for like an HOUR - nailed it. I loved this episode I mean, just super fantastic and y’all really broke down the mechanics to make them understandable, which was really helpful!!

I got the rule book the other day !! Just before i saw a video about how to play. As i am watching this video- i now have a better understanding of what is happening as you are playing.

From a sweaty hot appartement to this. I am so glad you are succeeding but not surprised. Your content just keeps improving. When my subs ends I am taking the 10$ tier in case you need to buy more spice!

Awesome cast! Troy was absolutely crushing it as GM! All love ❤️

Wonderful show! I really liked the ambient soundtrack bits in the background of various scenes. And i kinda wish i knew who was the author of these. :)

So excited! I get to see some fantastic players and GMs play this game. Getting to see people play a game you helped create is such an amazing feeling. Fly free you beautiful game! 😅😃😀

Absolutely brilliant intro to the shows! and as always great content!

Love that Noura is drinking a brandy/bourbin.

love this game and series

Hooray!

I am also a slash lover, great solos in appetite for destruction.

Love the 2d20 system - Stellar system 🥰 Dune 2d20 has me hooked on Dune 😃 Lastly - OMG Noura looks amazing 🥰 Bene Gesserit - Yeeea! 😀 Love the show so far - Cant wait to see more - Ty ty all of ya 🥰

Can we get a Character Name under each player, in future episodes? It would help remember character names and who's who.

Awesome!!

im more hyped for PHYSICAL games now actually , everythimg from RISK dune, to smaller DUNE cardgames to pen and paper rpg DUNE, will be interesting to see what comes of that durimg the year and the beginningmof next one😊😊😊

THAT INTRO THO

1:59:17 Chrysknives are not a widely known about outside of Fremen culture. Fremen aren’t even believed to be a very numerous populace, nevermind a culture truly worth observation. The Fremen are a secretive people, but any respect shown to their culture or observance of their ways, seldom is it considered by outsiders or allowed by the Fremen. Play the game as you like, but if I didn’t take time to Um, Actually, well I’d have had 5 extra minutes in my day.

"young Edward Gorey" ohmyGOSH

Think I might be moving up the patreon ladder to $10

I didn't know Rich Kotite moved on to game mastering! All joking aside great episode by all!

*gazes at Noura Ibrahim* Those shifty but beautiful crystal azure eyes!

Aren't you supposed to wait until after the wedding to do that, house Harkonnen?

Young Pup! Gurney Halek will always be my fav .. Young Pup!

The portrait and description of Ross's character are suspiciously close to Matthew...

Great Game, great cast, only: who's baby is there in the background? Every five minutes I'm "wha... oh, not mine" .... :)

Are they using role20? looks so smooth

I name my MMO characters Degrom...I wonder if Skid is a Met fan. Oh and Noura

im here cuz im making a very simplistic text based roleplay adventure game based on dune and arrakis having the book as an overarching theme but still allowing freedom and alternative start and constellation within the game, like im playing (pls feel free to "steal " any ideas, no seriously it ok i dint care otherwise i would nevermpost it right) as a nobody outsider foreigner just like conan the barbarian when he was exiled, on my way to deliver something to the space guild, my spaceship malfunction and crashes into the midst of dune in the 'deep desert' area,170 km from the harkonnens (cartheg), 60 km from corrino and 47 km away from atreides but i don't know this from the get go, actually nothing is known to my character except the "fourth wall " info the AI gives me as a gm like the details i already provided😅😅 so this is where my story begins and the emperor has been 15 months on dune, the harkonnens 3,5 months, and atreides 2,5 weeks....i encountered my first medium fast, but also lesser sandstorm today solo rpg style, my random shelter in a small cave on the rocky canyon close to my crashsite had a 63% shelter protection against the storm but still it took 46% damage taking most thing away before i had the chance and time to search the area before the storm hit , so far i rolled two times for , huge,medium and smaller sandworms but havent spotted anyone yet in the area im in , my thirst, fatigue, hunger, courage ,moral, and sanity meters are still doing ok, but i need to sleep soon and also find a scarce water source somewhere... tomorrow im gonna walk towards the nearest atreides outpost hopefully without encountering any sandbandits , worms or more sandstorms, but its a 47 km trek on foot in 38 degress celcius so i dunno...😅😅 everything i said i made up myself, no dnd books , nothing😊😊😊, just some imagination and inspiration from the latest movie and older classic dune games ( no not dune 2000)...

you spice?

Nah dont worry about cannon lol

Would a House Minor use the title of Duke? Also, I thought Guild Navigators were never shown in public

I have to say that I'm struggling with this. I'm not familiar with Dune. Would I be best to watch a movie or something before diving into this?

But when it comes to Mentats Geoffry Robinson is my pick. He was gone long before his time. He was integral to a strategic assault. To the point that I questioned his so called Death. He was the first one into any room. I would follow him into any Sitch. He was So Good. I really wonder if his death was a bluff so that he couldn't be followed into the dark. Love you Geoff and wish you well forever. Thrombosis My Ass.

So...All star game of GCN? Going to be fun.

So Pharos looks like Matthew? Ok.

We were discussing Dune with my play group recently, but we came to a conclusion that since planet dune does not carry any interest to any of us, we would probably be better off doing political games in stuff like fading suns or battletech. Good session tho - big fan of this cast

wow i would never recognize becca, lol😊😊😊

This series made me pause, order Dune in book form, so that I may understand the world a little better - assuming it doesn't take me years to digest.

"Up yours Fremen" merch incoming?

Bene Gesserit can only have daughters. Marrying a Bene Gesserit guarantees political turmoil for a given house, merging with another house was probably their only move, but now this other house will have the same problem in 20 years.

Yo Yo Yo

"It must be exhausting to be a Bene Geserit, layers and layers of obsercations." Welcome to Anxiety-tempered-ADHD, this is why we're always tired.

either becca is very good actress or she has a really evil dark side to her i havent seen before...yikes😮😑🧟‍♀️😬

I'm not a big fan of Dune. In fact, I dont care for Dune at all. However, I couldnt pass up the opportunity to watch this collection of talent play the game.
