House Upkeep Tracker per the Houses of the Landsraad Book. I am not the best at formatting, so let me know if you have any ideas how to improve. Would love to build some community resources.

Nice work!
I liked a lot the Conflict: Duel idea.
Updated the duel conflict per a recent play test. Might not have worked out all the bugs, but this was pretty solid in practice with my group. Still went pretty quick due to their DECISIVE ACTION talent, but i think it shows promise.

Created an espionage conflict based on Agents of dune. A PC used the fact that they knew the Harkonnen’s had a secret spice stash, and this is an effort to gain that information and utilize it over multiple weeks. Also has possible intrigue, skirmish, or duel conflict built in.

Pretty slick, Tonnie2na!
What software are you using to create map like the espiinage conflict
I use an engineering tool called Bluebeam Revu, but essentially just a fancy photo shop or acrobat that has way more functionality than necessary.
But for the inspiration for design, I’m leaning into my own OCD and insanity to really go off the rails from the typical conflict options. I wanted something complex, with challenging puzzles, and that my PCs could choose to engage with over multiple weeks as they saw fit. The deeper they get, the more successful outcomes, the better ‘loot.’ But it was meant to be optional, complex, and challenge my team of engineers who typically devour DND mechanics.
For designs, I’ve been exploring Pinterest for creative ‘flow charts,’ org charts and any other graphic tool to delineate discrete task and their interconnected natures. Logic paths for coding are also super helpful.
Then I just pick some creative shapes to represent zones and blast off. For this one, espionage conflicts have different types of movement areas that allow for some deep creativity. People, places, concepts and activities all become ways to connect zones. While my map notes some very defined connections, the intent and how my PCs utilize this information is dynamic. Example; they saw how they can promote addiction in a guard of Sapho in order to secure a double agent, so instead they pivoted to seduced a concubine of Feyd Rautha to gain access to his governor’s palace.
Additionally, I utilize these logic paths for overarching story beats. If my PCs successfully steal the spice cache and sell it to a local nacent house then they will engage on a path away from the typical story. Otherwise they will meet back up with original Agents of Dune plot points.
Than you. I realy love the visual ( and complexity) of it.
Which part from the visual result come from wich software. I would love to make this kind of drawing from my games. I have use clickchart to create organisational chart for the house of my player, but i don’t have connector like yours. I have acces to Hexagonal form, but i cannot joint them together like you.
I also have photoshop and would love to see if i can easely convert some of my chart to use them for spying.
I have created organisational chart for every department in the game, like the interior affaire or the intelligence serviceso I can see every departement and bureau. I could use them to create maps like your adding security and surveillance.
Can you told me in your visual wich element have been done by wich software ?
I have also created a chart to understand security around the Comtesse, but it was more more to understand wich person are allow to approch her and who is responsible for what. It was to know the security clearance of each departement. But i think i can modifier it like your to create a map of the forteress, the spying game and influence. A would love to add pentagone od security like you and the connector.
All of the software is called Blue Beam revu. I think you’d be surprised how simplistic the elements actually are. I completely hear what you’re saying, and would love some tools like that. This map is essentially just text box, with shapes around them. Then I made those combos into groups, and copied them around. The connecting pieces are simply just lines with different line styles. I can share an unflattened version if you’d like
I would love that if possible. Thank you
Check out a couple map options. Let me know if you have any more questions.

About 1/3 through this conflict. The team is setting up a sting operation with Niran Rani to catch a local smuggler who is trying to steal spice from the Harkonnen secret cache. They have discovered a secret cell of Tleilax supporters that are utilizing face dancer to infiltrate Carthag Guild and CHOAM offices.
