   Okay, these are lovely. Illustrations of NPCs from The Coming Storm. Sadly OOP. @chaosium.bsky.social really need to do themselves a favour & make this & The Eleven Lights available again. It’s some of the best material ever written for #Glorantha

   I treasure all the HQ: Glorantha material (esp as someone who struggles w/ the rules crunch of modern RQ) and wish it hadn’t been written off so quickly. Cautiously optimistic that we’ll see more with the release of QuestWorlds.

   Oh, nice. I really liked that art. It still really fits with modern look too. There was another artist in the HeroQuest era that did those amazing pencil sketches too. Didn’t fit the modern vibe as much, but they were absolutely gorgeous. I need to look up who that was.

   Maybe Mike Perry? As per this example: wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/kingdom-of-w…, although I think he mostly just did illustrations for the Guide to Glorantha.

   Those are good too, no the person I was talking about. Noticed it was signed, so figured out it was Regis Moulin.

   Another artist I really liked in Sartar: Kingdom of Heroes was this one. I think, based on the artist initials in the corner, that its Bernard Bittler, but I’m not 100% certain. Anyway, I’ve gotten us off-topic here, lol.

   While I absolutely adore the modern RQG art (and think its the best the line has ever had), this was was also great. Some of it has that more viking vibe that was unique to the HeroQuest/Questwords line, but I’m a sucker for pencil art. Really shows the craftsmanship of the artist in a unique way.

   The only thing I think RQG “lacks” is some of this soulful b&w art. I understand that some people look at b&w as old fashioned or lesser, but it hits different. Maybe its because I dabble in art myself, but it just amazes me how sick this all looks, without cool or even ink
