About the Writer

I am Kelly Carlson, and this site is my notebook for World of Warcraft. I started writing things down after a long run of raid nights where the same mistakes kept repeating, and the notes turned out to be useful enough to share.

What I play

Mostly raids and dungeon keys, with a side order of arena and a lot of wandering through older zones. I enjoy the planning side of the game: the routes, the talent trees, the little habits that make a group run smoothly.

How the site works

Posts are practical and written in plain language. Where a guide depends on a patch, I say so and update it when the numbers change. There are no sign-up walls and nothing to install; you read, take what helps and leave the rest.

Where to begin

The start page lists the guides in a sensible order, and the raid prep notebook shows the routine I use before every raid evening.
