Hey everyone! This is a stickied post.

I'm one of the Lead Quest Designers on World of Warcraft, have been with Blizzard over 13 years. I started out as an overnight Game Master for WoW and eventually worked my way onto the dev team around Legion/BfA.

My favorite quests involve elves and undead.

This is a subtweet at my neighbor's dogs.
Three panels of a guy in many military medals, talking about the rules of barking. The first panel says: Owners gone? Barking. The second panel says: People outside? Barking. The third panel says: Happy owner is home? Also barking.

Pandaren Heritage!

Prologue!

Stuff!

Patch 11.2.7 packs a punch with...

🏘️ Housing early access + weekly quests
📖 Midnight’s Prologue Campaign
🚀 Revamped experiences for new + returning players

And much more!
At the top of the image is the World of Warcraft: The War Within logo. Next to the logo, text reads, “Patch 11.2.7: The Warning”. Under the header, the infographic features nine different rectangles, each containing its own image and a subheader. The first rectangle is for “Housing Early Access” and shows an exterior shot of the Founder’s Point neighborhood. The next rectangle is for “Midnight Prologue Campaign” and shows Arator standing next to Sylvanas. The next rectangle is for “Revamped New & Returning Player Experience” and is a forested outdoor area. The next rectangle is for “Lorewalking: Elves Campaign” and features Lorewalker Cho sitting on a bench. The second row begins with a rectangle for “Pandaren Heritage Armor” and shows three different colorways of the armor worn by Pandaren. The next rectangle is for “Turbulent Timeways” and shows a Shadowlands shot. The next rectangle is for “Winds Of Mysterious Fortune” and shows a character running and holding a large staff. The next rectangle is for “Housing Decor Weekly Quests” and shows an extensive library. Under the “Coming December 9” banner is a section for “Brawler’s Guild,” showing the arena.

This is no longer accurate. I am working on something.

Well, that's it. The Lingering Shadows prologue chapter is out, and that's probably the last main story questline I build myself.

I'm still going to throw my hat at making things, especially for Midnight. And I continue to play a support role for our incredible campaign design team.

A drawing of my World of Warcraft ocs, Altorin and Fyodor, in their Halloween costumes. Alto is a tall nightborne man, with teal skin, white hair, and light purple nightborne style tattoos that glow slightly. He’s wearing a mad scientist costume, with long black gloves, neon green goggles, and a backpack covered in tubes filled with a liquid of the same neon green. He’s got test tubes of the same green liquid on his belt. He’s standing with his hands clasped behind his back, side eyeing Fyo with a small smile and a raised brow, looking slightly amused. Fyo is a shorter dracthyr man in his visage. He’s white and has brown hair, and short pointed ears. He’s wearing a pirate costume, with a fancy pirate hat complete with a large feather, an eyepatch, and a sash around his waist under his belt. He’s got his back to the viewer, clutching a bag of candy in one hand, his other hand frozen between the bag and his face, clearly in the process of shovelling more candy into his mouth. He’s looking over his shoulder at the viewer, eyes wide with surprise in a way that suggests he’s been caught red handed. In the top right corner are small screenshots of both of their in game models, wearing their Halloween costumes as well.

MIDNIGHT BETA BEGINS NOV 11

🏘️ Unlock Housing
🦇 Make your Haranir

AND LATER...

🕴️ Try Transmog Updates
⚔️ Dive into new Raids
👀 And more
A graphic breaking down the phases and features of the World of Warcraft: Midnight Beta launch. The top of the image shows the World of Warcraft: Midnight logo and text reading “Beta Launch.” Below that, text reading “Phase 1 November 11” opens a section with 4 rectangular sub-sections. Starting on the top left and going clockwise, the first rectangle shows Void Elf Demon Hunters and reads “Become A Void Elf Demon Hunter." The next rectangle shows an enemy and reads “Dive Into 12.0 Raids.” The next rectangle shows the various Haranir Druid forms and reads “Make Your Haranir.” The final rectangle in this section shows the interior of a house and reads “Open The Door To Housing." Text under this section reads “Earn Class Sets, LFG Tagging, Mythic+, and More." Below this, the latter section reads “Phase 2 November 18” and features a single rectangle sub-section that shows the new Transmog system and reads “Try Transmog Updates."

More accountability on actions taken:

I've set up recurring financial support on three 'fronts.' Broadly, those fronts are food security, refugee support, and public media.

There's opportunity for surge support elsewhere, and lots of worthy causes that will need it. But this is my starting point.

Recently I've been feeling pretty nostalgic of WoW... so I took a dive through my ooold (2015-2019) fanarts, I didn't even remember some of them, but there were a handful I still like.

Like this portrait of Zappi Boi (Zekhan), the cutest of all trolls (and all trolls are cute) <3
