Nerd Emperor of Dune

Found in the wild.

The hypeliner runs into trouble en route from Ix.

Faster than faster than light.

BTW, using heighliners like c17th/18th packet ships is in keeping with the future feudalism vibe. Feudalism is pretty much the best way to manage colonies/lands where you can’t micro-manage from a central location because of distance.

No it doesn’t. I don’t think it’s explicitly mentioned but I’m under the impression that messages are carried between worlds by heighliner - much later in Heretics of Dune, it’s implied that that is how the Atreides Manifesto is distributed, IIRC. I’ll see if I can find a reference when I have time.

More from the Sietch.

Yep, can’t argue with this.

Not to mention his new brother-in-law explaining how he stands always back-to-back with his sister. I’m not sure if that’s technically a threesome, but if so then at least it rules out making accidental eye contact.

“From this moment you’ll be called ‘Dude, Remember That One Epic Time?’ which in our tongue is Harq Al-Ada.”

In the actual, real world, actual serious theologians have actually suggested that the pre-lapsarian Serpent of Genesis - ie before it was cursed by God to crawl on its belly - bounced on its coiled tail like a spring.

Frank Herbert deliberately keeps most things about the sandworms’ life-cycle and behaviour vague and implicit, but how do you think they move? By pulsing like a worm? By undulating like a snake? Something else?

This is a common thread through DV’s films, bringing together every element of cinema to make the world feel not just real, not just lived-in, but central to the story — whether it’s exotic Arrakis, the near-future LA and Vegas of BR2049, or the contemporary suburbia of Prisoners.

It wasn’t me, but this is from an FB group, so I’m sure you could track down “Duke Leto” and ask him there.

Bring in the Prince and Ravage.

With Declan Colorado on our side, Petrid Van Drys and Ravage Harbinger don’t stand a chance.

Let us not forget that Danish Special Forces are exactly the type to bury themselves in the snow only to burst out and gank everyone as you patrol past.

Someone has brewed up a One Page Rules game of Dune using Skullforge Studios’ barely-copyright-dodging miniature designs (link in comments) and it is glorious. More images in comments. May they forever dodge the inevitable cease-and-desists.

A true rarity and what a great image! For sale over on FB.
