- 300+ beautiful pages detailing the process for creating the largest MMO ever
- Behind the curtain look at interpersonal experiences working at Blizzard
- Each copy comes with a 80-page Post-Mortem booklet of essays expanding on philosophies covered in The WoW Diary. This will not be available anywhere else.

I’m partnering with Nolan Nasser and Source Point Press, an experienced distributor who can get copies into your hands better than I can. Nolan is a rabid Blizzard fan, and he painted an excellent desk mat, which we’ll make exclusive to The WoW Diary’s second-edition backers.
We want to get this book into the hands of as many WoW Fanatics and aspiring game developers as possible and we can only do that with YOUR help! If you want to know the TRUE HISTORY behind World of Warcraft. This book is for you.
So, what can I spend my DKP on when the campaign is live?
