So I'm setting up for Twilight Imperium game next weekend. I have the hare brained idea that at the end of the game, I'm going to take it and spin it into a roleplaying game set in the resulting universe. There is allegedly a Twilight Imperium roleplay system but I'll probably just use one of the generics, maybe FATE or Cortex.
Where do you even find the more in-depth fluff? It's not like there's much of it in the boardgames.

I think TI is just dune with lion dudes as the Sardaukar or Atreiades or whatever. The planet in the center is Dune. It's part of why there's this diplomatic angle to what's going on that is part of getting victory points.

Also the other TI universe game, where you're on the surface of the planet jockeying for position is a rerelease of a Dune game.
That's actually one of the major reasons I never got into TI fluff. gently caress rethemes when I have actual Dune to play.
