Persei-Aries War Resumes
New Community Campaign - Third Hercules War
Well, it’s official. Today is the “soft launch” of the new Darkstar Campaign. So far we have four players, but more are always welcome!
We’re also starting a new thread, after the old one hit 127 entries, 3500+ recommendations, and 600+ comments, and was honestly getting a little unwieldy.
So here are the first campaign maps and background write up for the new Third Hercules War campaign. I hope you’ll enjoy following our progress, and as always, ping the thread if you feel like joining in sometime!
And the opening shoots are down with one hell of a bang – that everyone in the sector will hear … BOOM!
Holy hell, @rasmus – indeed this campaign has his the ground RUNNING! I think we found our ignition spark for the powder keg building up along the Hercules Rim. The Third Hercules War is officially on!
That was a blood bath. If the rest of the campaign battles go like that we are all going to need extra repair facilities and a lot more ships…
Indeed, @damon … and the craziest part is that was supposed to be a RAID … not a do-or-die, stand-and-fight ASSAULT. Don’t let Russians get too close, or the love of God! 😀 😀 😀
By the way, FANTASTIC writing on your background stuff. Did you want o post it here, or on your own Darkstar thread, etc? I was whip up some nice background graphics for a presentation piece if you want.
Cool if it’s in here to add to the flavour, be nice to see it with some cool graphics to add to the campaign narrative
Awesome, @damon ! I’ll try to get it up tomorrow. And give you full credit of course!
Looking forward to reading the write-up. Keep bringing the cinematic space battles please.
@muakhah – The new battle report should be going up in the next six hours or so (home from work do the write up). Now, you should still be on the e-mail thread. When the next gaming weekend comes up (Oct 26-27), if you want to take another swing at Darkstar, let me know! We can make whatever faction work one way or another. 😀
Loving catching up with the Darkstar stuff!
Thanks @davehawes. Yes, this campaign is still chugging along with a game every other week or so. I don’t put battle reports up as often as I used to. It got to the point where the battle reports were taking longer than the games.
But with @damon, @rasmus, @muakhah, @gladesrunner, @aras, and others, we have a pretty badass crew!
