Explore The World of DUST In A New Way With Modiphius
August 12, 2013 by brennon
Modiphius have been working with the folks behind DUST Tactics and DUST Warfare to bring you a whole new way of interacting with this Weird World War setting. Check out some more details about DUST Adventures below...
DUST Adventures will allow you to begin role-playing in the world of DUST creating characters from the Allies, the SSU and many of the independent factions.
From the press release...
"The campaigns will also feature DUST Tactics and DUST Warfare missions allowing fans of the miniatures games and role players alike to enjoy the DUST universe in new ways. The system being written for DUST Adventures draws heavily on the elegant systems of DUST Tactics, uses the same familiar dice, and aims to easily bring characters from DUST Tactics in to the role-playing game or role-playing characters in to your DUST Tactics or Warfare games."
Now if that doesn't make this ten times cooler I don't know what does? The DUST universe has always been an interesting one and I like their take on the alternate history of the 20th Century. If you want some inspiration concerning characters then see what you think of the artwork...
...and I bet that's just scratching the surface of what you can get up to in this game. I'm a big fan of role-playing games based around bigger properties like this as it allows you to get invested in the world without a massive cash injection. It also means you can take heroes and villains from the pages a story and then slowly build them up into bigger campaigns and battles.
Will you be checking this out at Gen Con 2013 and the future?

Bit disapointed its gonna use the same old dice mechanic .. was hoping for a betterment of the warfare rules tbh, but maybe thats not out of the question for the future.
I love the character artwork but I will probably wait until I read the Achtung! Cthulhu / DUST crossover stuff from the Kickstarter first to see if it’s something that I could get into.. since all I know about DUST right now is that it has awesome looking walkers!
Pretty cool back story in DUST with aliens and the alternative version of how WW2 didn’t end… Could be very rich in role playing potential!
Laser-pointer o a crossbow… right….
no more ridiculous than zombies made by alien brain fluid or talking apes.
The girl with the rocket launcher has the weirdest pose, her head almost looks like it put on backwards – the chin is over the shoulder and her leg pose is all mucked up. Looks kinda zombie like to me 😉
the other artwork is great though
Dammit, now that I’ve seen it. I can’t un-see it.
They should make a mini of that Chef guy! Awesome!
They do, he is in the Cerebus boxed set.
