We are a community of fansMost of us aren’t making anything for doing this, and those are, are being woefully undercompensated. We do this because we love it. We are passionate Twins fans who like to talk about our favorite team.

Every writer has an individual style, and their personality comes out in the writing. We have fun here. We write game recaps about High Fantasy Battles and Magical Balls.
