A drawing of a dilute calico manticore with white and red streaks in their mane and a missing eye covered by a large cross shaped scar.

A drawing of a piebald sphinx with vitiligo and green wings. He has a fluffy mane and is holding a bundle of sunflowers. Above his head is a golden sunburst halo.

A drawing of a cream colored sphinx with extremely short patchy fur and blue wings with gold feather tips. They have no mane or tail tuft but have small false breasts.

Back at my outdoor job for the season! Happy #WorldbuildingWednesday Thursday!

Today's OC focus will be on Gallecross characters! Jaz and Alkimos you know, but let's focus today on Azahriya, Balios, and Alkyone! Any questions are welcome, even spicy ones!

Goldshire from WoW, albeit without the... business it typically comes with.

It's time for another #Warcraft #WorldbuildingWednesday Repost!

Part 5: Making Azeroth Make Sense

The Eastern Kingdoms are the size of Long Island.

Goldshire has 3 buildings.

There's like 5 half elves, and most of them are Windrunners or dragons

Some things don't add up. This week, we fix that.

It's been fun writing in a forest setting for a while. Refreshing, like I'm spending time outside! I've got sentient trees threaded with gold. What's the most unusual forest you've ever visited / imagined / read about? #worldbuildingwednesday #writingcommunity

A cropped preview of a pencil and ink drawing of a Phoenix resting on the shoulders of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome. She looks up in hopeful wonder at the bird, her face and work clothes smudged with soot, and her pointed cap in one hand.

A map of Eorzea from the critically-acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14, which features a free trial that includes the award-winning Heavensward and Stormblood expansions.

Welcome to #WorldofWarcraft #WorldbuildingWednesday!

Entry #420: Eorzea and You

One of the biggest draws to WoW is the deep lore of Eorzea .

That said, there are some big questions that remain unanswered.

Ever wonder how Bahamut opened the Dark Portal in the lesser moon? Let's find out!

This post inspired me to add a section to the world building part of my own game where you add quirks and customizations to your generic starting equipment.

Oh hey, I guess its #WorldBuildingWednesday!

Last Wednesday, another writer dropped into my Tumblr inbox with a super fun #worldbuildingwednesday question and I thought I'd share it here! Read the full answer over my blog at: world-of-fire-and-flight.tumblr.com/post/812105177974947840/...

Part 4: Kaldorei Society

A fitting topic, given everyone's talking about elves right now for some reason

They're one of my favorite races in WoW, and one I've done a lot of worldbuilding for with the help of @moondarner.bsky.social!

A pencil drawing of two elves, one facing left, one facing right. The short of them holds one of the other’s arms by the wrist, post awkward for them both, but firm. Neither looks happy, and a shaded half-circle frames their heads toward the left of the image.

Part 3: Therianthropy and YOU

Everyone loves a good werewolf, but why stick with just good boys?

Within the Warcraft universe, there have been examples of MANY different kinds of Therianthropes besides Worgen. Let's talk about them!

A pencil drawing of an adult pig running toward the viewer, a pair of polka dotted bloomers clutched in their mouth, looking as if they’re smiling with one eye closed in a wink, an expressive star drawn beside it for playful emphasis. Lines of curving energy and sparkles around the bloomers suggest something otherworldly occurring, and other curving lines and shading around and behind the pig’s body indicate their line of motion.

We're going to test out adding #WorldBuildingWednesday into the rotation this week, plus some late night collabs! I also bought all of the Castlevania games so...

#warcraft #worldofwarcraft #worldbuildingwednesday

A pencil drawing of a plump, feminine-presenting, gaslamp-fantasy styled figure with gnome proportions leaning over patch of earth, rocks visible within it and leading down to large chunks of coal dramatically placed at the bottom of the image, inked as well as darkly shaded in. The figure’s expression, cut off so we only see their nose and mouth as they bend forward, is one of curiosity and mild awe.

A pencil drawing of a vaguely-defined, sprite-like faerie holding a sign that reads “Announcement! Posting schedule change, February 2026.”

A prompt list constructed as if on deeply tanned parchment, titled Faebruary 2026, with a list of 13 different types of faeries beneath it and an imp-like fae illustrated to the right of the words.

A prompt list constructed as if written on notebook paper with pen and highlighters, titled “#ockiss26” with a list of seven romantic or emotionally intimate prompts beneath it.

Announcement!! During upcoming #faebruary and #ockissweek , structured #worldbuildingwednesday will be replaced by continuous world building notes and new characters for the realm of #tockthegnome . #thankgnomeitsfriday continuing as usual within those challenges, and regular posting resuming 2/20 💗

A pencil drawing of a plus size, feminine-presenting elf raising one arm at her midsection as if to cast magic, while the other is raised to press her hand against one ear. Red wax pigment highlights dripping down that arm indicate a wound there, and her expression is furious, but in a controlled way. More waving lines and small circles indicate more magic spilling off her back, at her shoulders, and traveling off the page to the right. The background has been partially shaded in as a pillar behind her, for impact.

On #WorldbuildingWednesday, I watch videos like these. They're great for helping me craft fantasy world analogues for things that exist in the real world, like, for example, animals.

#WorldbuildingWednesday
I want to get back into writing, so help me out:
- You give me your favorite ttrpg monster.
- I tell you what I think its relation to memory/perception is.

Example:
Zombies are sentient; they eat brains, otherwise their oldest memories fade; sometimes the memories mix up.

A pencil drawing of two orcs, one fully distinguished and one in shadow, standing back to back. The fully detailed one is plus-size and masculine-presenting, cradling several sunflowers and looking upward at lines of light above his head, a smile on his face and his eyes completely whited out. The other is also plump but feminine-presenting, antlers sprouting from her head though one is blocked by the lines of light above her companion. Her eyes, also completely whited out, are visible amongst her shadows, as are her tusks and a decorative crown of jewels and bone on her forehead. Her hand, vaguely defined and still in shadow just like the rest of her body, reaches out toward the edge of the image with her elbow pulled back toward herself, her facial expression mildly pained.

A pencil drawing of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome in a simple gown with small, fake faerie wings strapped to her back and snowdrops and wiry-looking false rabbit ears tied around her pointed gnomish cap. She lifts one hand as if having adjusted her cap’s decorations while the other hand holds a large tome, her gaze on its pages and her expression calmly but manically excited. From the left side of the image, a feminine-presenting orc and another, masculine-presenting gnome look on. The orc looks very confused, while the second gnome also wears a crown of dangling snowdrops, advising the orc “It’s New Year’s. Just go with it.” in the form of a speech bubble that cuts behind their friend and across the page. The background has been lightly pencilled in to suggest drifts of snow with shoots of greenery at the first gnome’s feet, with more abundantly foliaged shrubbery or small trees behind her.
