I would like to nominate the Stellaris AAR “One World is not Enough - Normans in Space”, by @hjarg
It appears to be a continuation of a series of a previous Crusader Kings 3 campaign, but now taking to the stars, and has a very well-written backstory and a writing style that is easy to follow. Plus, they have good camera work on the screenshots that they’ve put together for the AAR, a nice selection of visual mods to make it even more appealing, and used some techniques for presentation that I might want to consider incorporating into my own AARs in the future.
hjarg is still early in their campaign as the Normans colonize nearby star systems and meet alien civilizations, but their updates are still proceeding steadily and are of a consistent quality, so I am very happy to nominate them, and look forward to seeing how their story proceeds!
Very many congratulations @hjarg ! Looks like no one ever could stop that Norman invasion![]()
As was foretold the Stellaris Incest continues, I swear they are worse than the Habsburgs.
That aside, congratulations @hjarg for finding a way to send the Normans out into Space and making it not too ridiculous.
Thank you so much! I am honored every time someone deems my writing worthy of recognition -- I have a blast writing these stories, and I'm happy that others get enjoyment from it, as well.Guess it is my turn now...
Something that has started in CK2 and is currently running in HOI. And something that starts with Estonia's borders extending to the Black Sea. If the latter does not make an AAR good, I don't know what does.
So, here goes one for @RedTemplar and his journey with Estonia through 4 games!

The Eastern Vikings, Part 4 - Baltic Megacampaign
The Eastern Vikings Baltic Mega-Campaign, Part 4 Greetings, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! After taking some time off to relax, recover, and play some other video games (new WoW expansions have a way of sucking up writing time, after all)...forum.paradoxplaza.com
Go Estonia!
Estonia in HoI, HRE in CK; did you go to the @Bullfilter/@Eurasia School of Time Management and Multiple Concurrent AARs? @RedTemplar, my congratulations and a box of warm ruiskatut will be traveling the cyber highway to you!
It is definitely a time commitment! Between playing both games, taking screenshots and detailed notes for post ideas, it definitely takes a lot of time and energy. But it's also a blast, and I'm enjoying the progress of both campaigns -- glad you are as well! And I just looked up what a ruiskatut is, and now I need to try that!The effort that goes into a mega-campaign is always worth respect, more so if something good comes out of it. Congratulations indeed @RedTemplar
Glad to have you along! That old Part 1 brings back some good memories. Hard to believe it was so long ago already that we've been immersed in this world! HoI4 is chugging along, so I'll look forward to having you up at the front of the train when you're done reading!Congrats @RedTemplar!This is one that's been on my back burner for a while; slowly working my way through Part 1 as we speak.
