About Ostara

Ostara has been streaming for six years, four of them full time. It started as one long campaign played badly in front of eleven people and turned into five nights a week in front of rather more. The games are long ones — strategy, simulation, colony builders, the sort of thing that rewards a hundred hours and punishes a shortcut. Nothing is scripted and very little is edited. If a run goes badly it stays on the VOD. The part that took the longest to get right was the chat. It is moderated properly, it is small enough that regulars recognise each other, and the single rule that matters is that nobody gets talked over — including me. That is why the community page exists on this site and why it is not just a Discord link in the footer.
