DARKSTAR CAMPAIGN UPDATE: DUCHESS ANNABEL’S WAR IS OVER

Wow, everyone.  Seriously, what else can I say but … thank you.

Suffice it to say that the results of this pool have absolutely blown away any and all expectations.  The response in just twelve hours … it’s absolutely incredible.  I’m surprised, thrilled, humbled, excited, and deeply moved.

I can’t connect everyone’s OTT/BoW screen name to the names that appear in the support / donation pool.  But just a quick list …

Damon – Consider the Trafalgar class heavy cruiser “under construction” in the shipyards.  If you want, we can come up with some distinguishing features from the Iron Duke and Titan classes so it’s not redundant in the canon.

Nick – Absolutely no worries on a warship Quin.  UK?  US?  Any other preference?  We’ll make sure she’s a famous ship of her class.

Stu Shaw – Absolutely great idea re: adding pictures of the the warships card construction / playing pieces into the book somewhere.  Maybe their own suggestion as an appendix at the back, like some books have painting guides for inspiration, etc.

Howard – “A UK ship,” you say?  For that donation and level of support, you deserve a fleet!  A ship indeed, that’s going to be at least a battlecruiser, or really any class you want.

Jennifer – thanks so much for all your support, in the pool, at the playtesting table, and everywhere else on the “battlefield of life.”  Long live the HMS Kraken!

Andrew – Dude, you didn’t even ask for anything!  That’s not going to fly, not in my universe.  Do they name warships after engineers?  Hell, they do now.  😀

Dennis – my God, man.  Are you kidding me?  You can’t choose between “hero of the lore” or “warship class?”  Have no fear, sir, they name warship classes after historical heroes.  So you’re getting both.

Rasmus – Thanks so much!   I think there may be some “space Vikings” in the making!
