For those following and interested. I've been busy with end of term academic stuff. Glad that's over. I was just rather swamped. I leave for the States in July to visit family in Ohio, then back home to England. The plan is to get some stuff some before I leave on vacation, and finish things up in August before the next term starts.
I just wanted to give people a heads up on what was going on. Thanx!

The day has arrived. Yay! So its still a few hours away, but Stellaris releases. I'm hosting Paradox Interactive's pre-release livestream on my channel ... https://www.twitch.tv/SpuunFourk ... please go and enjoy. And when the game is released and downloaded, I'll be streaming it myself. I'll probably post updates on my more structured game (where I'll be recreating the Asimov Galactic Empire) from the YouTube channel. Yay!
Hey @Cobaltasaurus ! I've done some streaming myself. There are some good ways to keep track of viewers and stuff if you're having issues. Happy to help out setting stuff up if you ever need any help 
Good video! And subbed as Spuun & Fourk (my channel account)
Damnit @somasatori ... you actually made me spit my drink on my keyboard! That was amazing
Update:
So I believe I've finished digging out the grid. It basically consists of Arrakeen, which at first will be the main focus of RP, about five locations on or along the Shield Walls (Old Gate, Plastic Basin, Cave of Riches, Observatory Mountain and Imperial Basin), a Deep Desert room, Carthag (which will just be a fortress settlement right now, not the large city it is in the books because at this point House Harkonnen hasn't built it up that way) and Sietch Tabr.
There will be more in the future such as Arsunt and Qina (for a couple other of the Great Houses to have as "capitals") as well as Sietch Jacurutu. But I think that's a good place to stop for now.
Next I'll be finishing off the @descing and going through NEWS files and such.
I'll need to get @Thenomain in at some point to install the CoD code so I can start reworking it for Dune universe setting.
Anywho, just an FYI for those following progress
Hey friends!
First this is going on now: https://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive
Basically a livestream of MP of the game with various youtubers.
As for Stellaris itself, I am very much looking forward to this game. Anyone else planning on playing. You can have up to 32 people in a multiplayer game. Which is rather astounding. If there are enough people who'd like to schedule a MP game, I'm willing to host. Send me a message and we'll work something out.
I'll also be livestreaming next week when it comes out and posting to Youtube
For those following the thread, this is being pursued and development is commencing. Yay. I will use basic CoD stat system altered obviously for the Dune universe. Probably won't install that till after I've finished the grid and news files and such. Thank you all for the interest. Keep following here for updates!
Yeah Spuun and I have problems scheduling things together (we did some GTAV last week which should be posted soon) because I'm in the UK and he's in Ohio. So we've done our own things for now. Now that I have more free time I hope to do upload more stuff as he's been providing the bulk of the content with Fallout.
Look me up on Steam and send a friend request (look me as as Fourk there, use same icon as the youtube channel) and we can compare games to find something to play. And thanx for the sub!
Hey @Insomnia ! Great channel. I am subbed ... I too do the YouTube thing with an old friend of mine here at Spuun & Fourk. Maybe we can do something collabrative in the future. We haven't been up to too much, though Spuun's Fallout 4 playthrough is getting rather massive. And I've been limited until recently with graduate work, but hope to do more in the future (definitely will play lots of Stellaris when it comes out). Congratz on the channel
... must ... resist ... thread off-topic ... on ... life's ... work ...
I'll be sure to ping you. I have txt files full of news files that just need to be edited and reviewed. Arrakeen is already a grid skeleton, the rest is easy to @dig, then its just a matter of desc'ing it. After that ... wiki work and cgen and done. I put a lot of work into it back when off-game in txt files. So it should come together quite easily. Just a couple small hurdles and making sure there's interest. I think there is from what I can tell Thanx again!
My thoughts exactly. The basic God Machine rules are pretty straightforward and easily applicable. And most people are familiar with it at this point. I'll review it this week and see how it might go. If it will work, I'll chat with @Thenomain about helping me install it. FATE is great for the game, but if code support isn't really there ... well I'm just stuck where I was last time Thanx @somasatori for the input!
Yeah. And I think CoD is pretty portable to a different setting. Obviously for a Dune game, Roleplay rather than Rollplay will be the focus so I want to stay away from d20 or something ... but CoD can be very RP oriented without being too gamey. Depending on how its used.
That would be awesome @somasatori ... let me know if its possible. I could use a basic CoD God Machine stat system with tweaks to match a Dune setting ... it would be at least well supported code-wise and still allow for RP oriented play. Hmm.
One may have forgotten #1's password. @Chime or anyone else. I forget how one fixes that. You know. Hypothetically ... yeah.
I see there's 3 FATE systems on Gwen's MUSHcode archive. I'll look at those and see if any of them are for TinyMUX or can be easily translated.
Has anyone completed a FATE type chargen, particularly for TinyMUX. I have in a file some FATE code but I think its for PennMUSH (I know I've been through this before a couple of years ago before taking a break from MU*ing but yeah brain-memory). I think FATE is the best route to take for Dune, but will need help on the FATE system if anyone is available or if one has been developed while I've been away.
There may be a better system to use for the game ... other than nWoD, are there any other complete stat systems out there that might work well? Thoughts? Thanx folks!
