Roleplaying the Summertime

Generally, the structure of Summertime will be as follows:

(1) The Adjudicator declares Springtime has begun, and reminds the players which game year they are in (1 to 12) and which Court has priority this year.

(2) The Adjudicator relates any Events to all the players as a group.

(3) The two Courts split off, and quietly discuss their plans for the Season, without letting their opposites hear what they are saying.

(4) The two Courts each tell the Adjudicator what Summer Campaigns they are launching.

(5) In strict order, Campaigns are revealed to the group, and defended against and resolved one at a time.
