However, if you want to start your campaign right now, don’t worry - we have included a short appendix at the end of each adventure that will explain the basics!

However, we are now as safe as we can ever be under the constant threat of missile strikes, and determined to finish the whole series! And after that - who knows, maybe even more cool adventures will follow ;) Made in Ukraine
