I cannot believe this is the first physical teach of the campaign rules! Well done, thank you!

Us either! We don't do learning videos regularly but try to do our part with one of these 'casual how-to-plays' when we see a void in the resources on youtube.

Thanks for this! Already excited about the campaign, but was looking for something like this. You found a subscriber here!

Fantastic video guys! Finally a campaign teach! One thing though, the resolution order of Crises is Blight THEN Personal Fate crises and finally Court Crises

Very nice video! Just in time for my first campaign today!

Thank you guys! This was really helpful as we break into our first campaign!

Yup. I really wanna try the Campaign now.

Great teach, I feel like I understand it now. Good job!

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

This was very helpful, thank you.

Great teach! One correction about Blight attacking Imperial ships & leftover damage. From p18, Outlaws are treated no differently than any other player.

Small clarification: The concept of harm does not include taxing. The rule that prohibits regents taxing each other in imperial systems is mentioned separately from them not being able to harm each other in those systems. Other cards that refer to harm exclude taxes. This can become important for some fates

You're right, harm does not include taxing rivals. But both concepts are covered under the Truce Law, so a regent would need a way to bypass that law in order to do either.

One odd thing I noticed is that first regent can’t force citizenship on outlaws but outlaws can force citizenship.
