DARKSTAR CAMPAIGN UPDATE: DUCHESS ANNABEL’S WAR IS OVER
Darkstar Campaign Log - Duchess Annabel's War
Full Scale War in Progress in Libra, Saggitarius, Ara, Scorpio Constellations! Five Factions Engaged! Five Battles Reported So Far!
Good afternoon ~ Okay, for those who are curious 0 here is how a Darkstar Campaign is generally set up, played out, and recorded. The attached .pdf includes the first 10 pages of a campaign currently in progress between myself, BoW: Gladesrunner, BoW: Aras, and one other player.

Thanks, @davehawes – we have some more games for Duchess Annabel’s War scheduled for tomorrow, so we’ll see what happens!
