DARKSTAR CAMPAIGN UPDATE: DUCHESS ANNABEL’S WAR IS OVER
Materials from Lets Play Video
Some people have been requesting more information on the ships, rules, and charts used in the recent “Let’s Play Video” for Darkstar.
Accordingly, I have attached here the Turn Sequence, master chart reference sheet, and the ship record sheets for the six ships used in this game.
Nice lets play video where can I find the rules so I can check it out.
Thanks very much, @lorddraconum – Okay, seriously, you’re like the 25th person to ask where these rules are. 😀 I might just take the month of December and finally write them down.

So I’ll need some time, obviously, but I have dozens of people on several platforms asking me about this – it’s time to bite the bullet and get it done.

That sounds great.
