The Dune RPG is a tabletop roleplaying game published by Modiphius Entertainment. It allows players to immerse themselves in the Dune universe, taking on roles within powerful noble houses, navigating political and military conflicts, and shaping the fate of Arrakis through narrative-driven campaigns.

The Dune RPG uses Modiphius’ signature 2d20 system, a flexible and cinematic ruleset that emphasizes storytelling, momentum, and character-driven action. This system allows players to balance intrigue, diplomacy, and combat while driving the plot forward with dramatic choices.

No prior knowledge is required, but fans of the Dune series will appreciate the deep lore and accurate world-building. The core rulebook includes comprehensive lore summaries, timelines, and faction overviews to help newcomers understand the setting and engage fully with the story.

Players can choose from a wide range of roles including spies, mentats, swordmasters, nobles, Fremen warriors, Bene Gesserit sisters, and more. Each role offers unique abilities and narrative potential, allowing players to contribute in political, social, and combat encounters.

Yes. While the setting is rich and complex, the 2d20 system is accessible and adaptable. The rulebooks include detailed examples and pre-generated content to help new players and game masters get started quickly. Starter sets are also available to ease new groups into the game.

In addition to the Core Rulebook, Modiphius has released House-specific supplements, campaign books, character journals, and GM tools for Dune RPG. These expansions offer additional options for character creation, political factions, adventure hooks, and deeper explorations of Arrakis and the wider Imperium.

While the Dune RPG is designed for group play, game masters can run one-shot sessions or shorter arcs with ease. Solo play is less common but possible with adaptation, especially when focusing on storytelling and journal-style gameplay with custom prompts.
