FATE: A Game of Thrones and Dunes<\/p>\n
A lost legion. A lost jihad legion. A lost interstellar jihad legion. Of Muad’Dib’s. From Arrakis. Dune. Desert Planet. Wormhole accident. Spaceship crash. On Westeros. A bunch of feudal white boys are in for a big surprise.<\/p>\n
Draft 1.0 April 16, 2013 – Blue Tyson<\/p>\n
SETTING<\/p>\n
The Seven Kingdoms of A Game of Thrones, initially. A Guild Ship carrying one of the Fremen legions that wanted to continue the jihad gets into a Star Trek unlucky accident involving an astronomical event and the space time continuum. Ship damaged, they barely manage to land on the nearest planet that will support life. Surprisingly well by their sensors. The shock and damage of the crash leaves both the Ship and the Guild Navigator unable to function as intended for the time being. So a 30,000 strong Fremen Legion with 20,000 support personnel must now fend for themselves.<\/p>\n
ISSUES<\/p>\n
Winter is coming.
\nWinter includes an invasion by horrific monster people.
\nAliens? How do they fit in.
\nWho is most racist?
\nCan We Get Out of Here?
\nWe Aren’t In Our Universe Anymore – is jihad still relevant
\nWe could conquer the planet..but probably couldn’t hold it long-term.
\nSo just a local takeover, perhaps?
\nHow should we live here?
\nAnyone for something more democratic?
\nThey say you want a revolution.<\/p>\n

FREMEN<\/p>\n
Fremen and Imperial evolution and breeding programs have produced humans that are advanced physically and mentally from those of Westeros. Fremen warriors were the best in the universe, Bene Gesserit etc. aside. Plus with Jessica Atreides establishing training programs you have some talented specimens. The Fedaykin being the elite of those. These are therefore ranked in relation to local denizens. Want to make them stronger? Have Westeros be a lower gravity world than Arrakis and have a legion go all John Carter, too. Increase physical ranks by one. Allow prodigious leaps. All that good stuff.<\/p>\n

ADVENTURING<\/p>\n
SETUPS<\/p>\n
1. A possibility that I find intriguing…the ship comes down at Castelly rock badly enough that it kills a lot of Lannisters. Tywin and a visiting Cersei among them. Power vacuum locally as well as new arrivals. If Jaime is missing, does Tyrion get First Contact privileges? Many Fremen won’t be fans of unfit speciments in their eyes such as him.<\/p>\n
2. If landing elsewhere, an alliance with a lesser house that is more than happy to gain an advantage would allow PCs from Westeros and Arrakis in a group trying to work out this new world situation.<\/p>\n
3. If landing in the middle of nowhere, scouts and then emissaries (after any foolish raiders or attackers get slaughtered and captured) may begin to play let’s make a deal.<\/p>\n
4. Key female Westeros NPCs will be fascinated by an overall military commander who is a woman.<\/p>\n
5. If smart Westeros people realise that accommodation and machination might keep them alive then: a welcoming tournament! Fun, games, skullduggery and murder for all.<\/p>\n
6. An army of people with leadership by merit will horrify the nobility and intrigue the common people. Uprisings? Do Fremen propaganda experts [PCs] try and start them?<\/p>\n
7. If monsters overrun the Wall, what will that do to the Fremen worldview? If in open conflict with the locals, it is enemy of my enemy time as monsters won’t mind eating a little tough desert meat.<\/p>\n
a) For a completely different flavour, make it 5000 or 500 survivors. A whole legion makes the situation much more different and interesting though I think. With many more character type possibilities.<\/p>\n
A lot of possibilities. Leaving the Fremen leader examples given above, the players could be:-<\/p>\n
Fremen scouts checking out the place.
\nFremen engineers working on getting life going.
\nFremen scientists seeing if it is possible to get into space and what resources can be used to support high tech.
\nFremen diplomats making contact with a house. Who is a good linguist, then, for first contact?
\nWesteros scholars or engineers eager to learn. Warriors, likewise. Others with more mercantile interests.
\nCommoners seeking a better life volunteering their services.
\nSpies, either way.<\/p>\n
THE LADDER<\/p>\n
Being a big Marvel Super Heroes fan from way back, this is how I like to think:<\/p>\n

Popularity is a measure of charisma, reputation and public influence. If you like, bad people can have a negative popularity ladder equivalent. Supervillains, mass murderers, ruthless thugs in The Ball, etc.<\/p>\n
