About the adventure
Generations before the birth of Paul Atreides, the Imperium thrives under the rule of the Padishah Emperor. The Landsraad holds sway over noble politics, CHOAM manages the flow of spice and wealth, and the Spacing Guild monopolizes interstellar travel. It is a time of grand Houses scheming for dominance, of alliances forged in whispers, and daggers drawn in the shadows. Your House—be it powerful or humble—seeks to rise among the stars. Will you trade favors with the Bene Gesserit, gamble on dangerous alliances, or seize power through cunning and ambition? In the Imperium, power is a blade without a handle. Grip it tightly, and you may cut down your enemies… or yourself. Landsraad Be Damned is a political thriller set in the treacherous universe of Dune in the year 10050 AG, where Houses play a deadly game for influence, resources, and survival. Fame and Fortune: Expand your House’s reach across the Imperium and secure your place among the elite. Intrigue and Espionage: Outsmart rival Houses, root out saboteurs, and turn agents into double-crossers. Secrets and Betrayal: Every deal has a cost, every ally an angle, and every truth a shadow. Whether you are a duelist defending honor, a Mentat calculating the next move, or a Bene Gesserit weaving a quiet plan, your decisions shape the destiny of your House.

About me
Well hello! Name's David - SideQuestNPC on almost everything online. Coolest nerd you'll ever meet and, oh yeah, I'm a proud Forever DM. Throughout the years I pursued a career in filmmaking, a dream from my early teens. I've also done loads of Youtube content creating, live streaming on Twitch & YT, podcasting, writing, improv, and voice acting. Now that I've reprioritized what I want to do for a living, I've really come to realize that DM/GMing really flexes all my talents and interests into one role that I truly get a tremendous amount of joy and fulfillment from. So here I am, putting myself out there to carve my new path into a really exciting future.

Creating your character
All players will have a private channel on the discord server that is used for several different functions, first and most importantly is the creation and establishment of your character and character's motives and goals. I will familiarize all players to the 2d20 system and the traits, assets, and such provided in the official Adventures in the Imperium corebook. The system already provides wide options and freedom of choice for the players' house and the motivations and backstory of the characters.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Quite simply, all you need is discord. All the play-by-post action will happen in a number of channels dedicated to certain functions. Each player will also have a private channel that'll serve for character creation, personal questions, and the chance their character wanders off away from the party and hands things by themself. It's not necessary for you to be completely familiar with Dune or the entirety of events that happen in the Dune novels. That being said, for those that are familiar, this campaign takes place in the generations leading up to the original Dune novel/Villeneuve films, that also means I'll be using details and events from the Expanded Dune universe. The Encyclopedia is good and cool and all, but I'd rather have something with more meat and details and the Expanded Books do provide that and are still technically ongoing. It's the larger net for possible interested players or fans that turn to the TTRPG space.
What SideQuestNPC brings to the table
In Play-by-Post I provide a steady continuous narrative that showcases tons of interesting parties, individuals, and schemes at play. I like to also provide occasional audio clips to help immerse the players in their missions. Players are encouraged to try anything (within reason in the universe of course) and I pride myself in the ability to react and co-storytell with the player in the character's journey.

How SideQuestNPC creates a safe table
As per the private channels players will always be able to communicate with me their lines, veils, goals, and wishes. It's very important in not only shaping the character but the challenges laid before the House.
