I’ve been playing some games against the “AI” deck, but I am looking for the real thing. Anyone up for a forum game? Bring your board and cards.
I can provide the card market, board with screen shots, you bring your human AI.
The only secret thing are the intrigue cards, I don’t have a solution for this. Just draw a card from your own intrigue deck, there could be duplicates between players, but I don’t think it’s a big issue.
Interest in watching. Intrigue card list is here, I could hack a quick randomizer script once I have the time, or do it manually for the players until I don’t, I guess.
So there is a tabletop simulator module that I remember briefly checking into and it had looked promising. For forum and PBEM type games I usually think Vassal, and there was no Dune Imperium module that I could find there. I wish I knew just a touch more about making vassal modules because there may be good assets to harvest from the TTS module that could be used in the vassal module production.
For a live game over the internets I’d absolutely agree. I haven’t tried to make TTS work for any kind of PBEM style of play. Maybe I’ll go take another look. For PBF it’s easy enough to have one person with the module messaging the intrigue cards and managing the market and rest of the board state for reference. They’d have to be a referee, of course, privy to all the hidden information. It might be hard to do that and play.
Ah I see. Yes, a VASSAL module would probably work better for PBF, you are right. I misunderstood the context.
Woohoo!
Just keep a hardcopy record (i.e. the game) for now, at least of the Conflict cards and Market cards. The board position can be kept here on the forum. (I can help.) @Perky_Goth can maybe do the Intrigue card honors for us for a bit if that’s ok, since he kindly agreed.
this picture was actually taken on Arrakis, that’s actually heat haze.
I think we have everything: market, conflict, houses. Each player starts with 1 VP. Anything else?
