Nikolai and IberiAARn Tales in CK3. Short and sweet updates as Leon becomes Hispania. Plus it is relatively new so time to get on board early. Nikolai shows us that it does not take months and/or years to tell a tale of 400 years. :p

Excellent choice.

Hi there everybody! It's Saturday, and while I have this to Sunday, I think it is best I hand it over now while I can. You see, as I have mentioned before my health is kinda bad lately, with nausea and daily puking - which I have had for 15+ years - have become much, much worse the last month, leaving me in a bad and tired state. Got called in for a hospital visit Tuesday coming week, which is great.
So of course I caught corona this week. Sigh.

The reign of my tyrannical AAR has lasted for too long! Readers! It is time to take up AARms and overthrow him and his CK3's AAR clique! Revolución! It is time for a prosperous AAR! An exciting AAR to read and which makes us discover a region of the world so little known in this period! Long live En la sombra de Morazán: A Central American AAR (Vic2) by Presidente @Zeogludon!

Thank you so much for @Werther for the nomination. I'm very happy to hear that people are enjoying what I write just as I really enjoy the research and writing behind it.

For my pick, I would like to again nominate 'The Butterfly Effect: A British AAR' by @El Pip , which is still ongoing over a decade after its creation. I remember reading it some years ago and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it is still ongoing and as good as ever. @El Pip 's attention to detail and willingness to touch on technical issues is impressive, well appreciated, and, frankly, amazing. The amount of effort that goes into that story constantly astounds me and I applaud the author. I also appreciate that I can read an AAR and learn about oil chemistry at the same time.

Well done @El Pip ! I believe you now hold the record for showcases for a work so far apart. Looks like 2014 was the last time (if I'm reading the first post correctly.)

Congrats @El Pip! :D I must admit that I'm quite impressed by your perseverance; that AAR has been going on about as long as I can remember. I've occasionally worked up the steam to make a start on this one, but it seems I always lose my place and have to start over again...
