Christian Thoma @Kalcheus — Christian lives in North Carolina with his wife (gorgeous), son (lovable), and dog (dozing). Better known as Kalcheus and occasionally Chrth, he has been playing World of Warcraft since 2008 and is just as bad now as when he started. A huge fan of D&D since the red box days, he is currently in therapy for his crippling addiction to Norse-themed 5E campaign settings. Stuff he writes that isn't good enough for BlizzardWatch gets dropped off at Kalcheus.com instead.


The Queue: New Year, Old Me

2025 has arrived and while I’m not one to eschew resolutions for personal improvement (see below for more specific answers), I feel like sometimes the focus on “New Year, New Me” detracts from current version of you. While most of us have aspects of ourselves that we’d love to change or improve, suggesting a radical transformation assumes there’s not a lot already worthwhile in a person and I don’t think that’s true at all. So yes, make plans to exercise more or be more attentive to family/friends or to finish watching Season 2 of Arcane (we’re up to Episode 8!) but don’t forget to take the time to reflect on what’s already good and beautiful about yourself. It may be hard to see, but I’m sure it’s there.

While we all pledge to make 2025 the best year so far, let’s start it off well by answering some questions!


The Queue: Merry Happy!

Whoa! What’s that sound? Is that the tippy-tapping of secular boots on the roof? Oh, well, it must be yet another sign that it ’tis the season, because rumor has it that non-denominational Mr. Winter is on his way!

Hopefully everyone that is celebrating a holiday this week is having a joyous and relaxing one, and hopefully both Mister and Greatfather Winter delivered plenty of delightful items for you to play with.

While we wait to see whether we can get people to move their giant mounts out of the way to grab presents in Orgrimmar and Ironforge, let’s answer some questions!
