Reader Contribution: The recap newsletter

January 27, 2011 by newbiedm

I was contacted by a reader named Michael, who offered to write a guest post about the way he handles recaps in his game.

November 29, 2010 by newbiedm

Recently, after a 3 years hiatus due to my son being born, I’ve gotten back into Warcraft. I played Warcraft before 4e came out in order to satisfy a gaming itch I had, and now the recent Cataclysm event in the game piqued my curiosity. But this isn’t an article about Warcraft, but rather what […]
