A brief update on Kaserne on the Borderlands:

With the expedition team’s arrival in Czestochowa, I’m shifting the campaign’s focus back to Ponikla for a while. This will entail a time shift. When we last saw the Ponikla-based PCs on screen, it was early September 2000 in-game… and July 2023 in meatspace.

To maintain a loose semblance of continuity, I’m picking up in Ponikla in early October. In the weeks since the expedition left, the village has been busy salvaging the train wreck, bringing in the harvest, training the seeds of a local militia, and pursuing various infrastructure projects (wind and micro hydro power, upgrades to Red’s medical clinic, establishing radio broadcast capability).

My longer-term intent for the campaign is to get the Ponikla team caught up to the expedition team in the timeline before shifting focus again. As readers familiar with the first-edition canon may have inferred, my plan for the expedition team is to follow them through The Free City of Krakow and Pirates of the Vistula, with the two PC groups hopefully reuniting for The Ruins of Warsaw. We’ll see how far we get… and, with scheduling issues for nine adults, how many years it takes us.
