Head on over to the forums to ask those burning questions to our very own amazing exploding Tuku! No question too hard, ask just about anything you want, today! Holy cow FAN ART! We want to give a big shout out and thanks to Fen, who created an amazing drawing of our WoW characters. I donât even know what to say, this is really really incredible. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/46300-for-the-aie-podcasters/ (http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/46300-for-the-aie-podcasters/) Plans for DragonCon 2012 are shaping up!
