This. This is what drives me crazy about so much #worldbuilding, whether its a novel, movie, or a roleplaying setting. Pretty much only #Glorantha and #Shadowrun actually manage to nail this, from my experience, though some of the #Eberron books give it a good effort.

This was actually for a prompt on my own discord, but I decided to post it on my blog since it has been a while and who knows, there might be some fans of Falmer world building out there. #TES #ElderScrolls #ESO drnightst.one#es-48

Real missed opportunity IMO for Elder Scrolls comics, so I went ahead and imagined my own. The 83rd incarnation of Dram fights for behalf of the Empire in the Great War... or does he?

Alternative color/medium. First one was airbrush, watercolor, and colored pencil, this one is various types of markers. The drawing was done digitally and then printed on watercolor paper and sealed with fixatif.

Refresh your pages! There is already an addendum in the introduction. Turns out, the Gloranthan influence on Tamriel is older than I though.
Tamriel: The Loveletter to Glorantha
This is an article I have been meaning to write for a while now and it is finally finished! I talk about how the world of Glorantha heavily inspired some key aspects of The Elder Scrolls from the Redguard-Morrowind period and forward. drnightst.one#es-44

So, I commissioned trans artists to draw Alchemy in celebration of all the amazing trans folks in our lives, and in protest of assholes trying to take away their rights

Greg was a great guy, but also one of the true innovators of the early roleplaying industry. His world of Glorantha and the Pendragon RPG should speak for themselves. I've called him the "Uncle" of the RPG field, right beside Gygax & Arneson.
A well-deserved recognition.
