Gear
Roleplaying in the DUNE universe is not really about having lots of equipment. Given that the players are part of a powerful noble house, a character can pretty much gain access to anything they need.
Cost for an individual item then is virtually irrelevant. The only real concerns we have then are how difficult the items are to obtain, the cost for a bulk order and the length of time it takes to obtain.
So each piece of gear is can be said to have the following traits:
GAME EFFECT - what the gear actually does DIFFICULTY - how hard it is to obtain COST - how much treasury does it require TIME - how quickly you can expect to receive it This book will detail some of the things that appear in the books and some suggestions for other things, but really, when it comes to character’s wanting things, the Judge only really has to concern him or herself about the game effect and the aforementioned gear traits.
When a character decides to obtain some gear, they can either do it using their own personal connections or as a House Venture.
The former, requires a Charm + Contacts roll at a Difficulty equal to the Gear Trait.
If the latter, roll Charm + Influence Quality.
If successful, subtract the resulting Width from 6 to determine the Time Factor. Combine the Time Factor and the Time Trait to determine how long it will take for the item to arrive.
E.g. Width 3 subtracted from 6 is 3. This is the Time Factor. The Time Trait is Days. Combined, it will take 3 Days for the item to arrive.
After the roll, look at the Cost Trait. There are two values, the first is the value for one item and the second is the value for a bulk item.
Reduce the Wealth rating by the first for a week or reduce the Treasury rating by the second for a month.
The number in brackets under Cost is the number of items received for a bulk order.
Manufacturing
Mass production in the Known Universe is nothing like what one would expect of the future. The proscription on any machine made in the image of a man’s mind is pretty far-reaching.
This basically prohibits any item or piece of machinery which might be considered to “think for itself”. That’s anything remotely like a computer, microchips and the like.
So, mass production is either through crews of artisans toiling round the clock or through Servok
Servok Servok Servok.
The Servok is a clock-set mechanism created to perform simple tasks. It was one of the limited
"automatic" devices permitted after the Butlerian Jihad.
A Servok then is an ornate clockwork machine used to mass produce parts which are then assembled by artisans.
