More KAMN Coming
March 21, 2008 By 2 Comments
As promised last fall, my old reviews from before I joined Dragon Page will be reposted here shortly.
I couldn’t decide if it would be better to repost them with the original dates (thus dating them before KAMN existed), or just post them new, with a tagline saying when they were originally done. Brian liked the posting them new idea, so that won out.
