Fanfest may be looking to have accessibility issues, but I'd bet the fish will take on that challenge. Why not cast your lot with the fishers for a pregame fanfest meetup?

The unicorn listened intently. Somewhere in the forest, someone innocent was singing.

The unicorn followed the sound, found the singer, and laid down with their head in the singer's lap.

"bottles of-"

The young orc fell silent, smiled shyly, then resumed singing.

"Beer on the wall..."

Ahh congestion.... Bane of our ability to role-play with the people we want to.

I'll be out at Buscarron's when the servers decide to let me.
At some point, I will make an Erah'sae over on Mateus.

Tonight, join us for some open-world, walk-up role-play.

We'll be out at Buscarron's Druthers in the South Shroud of Mateus starting around 5PM US Eastern until late.

All are welcome here from adventurers and wanderers to merchants, and travelers. We even the regular bridge hobo.

Guess who needs to resurrect a failing system to get his Buscarron advertisement templates he swore he store on network attached storage back....

A special treat landed today. A prize lured in from the depths for all of you who enjoy some good lyrics rewriting and singing. So cast your ears to this catch of a song.

...

I may have gone a touch overboard there with the fishing terms.

Cinder Surprise returns from vacation next week! Are you ready? If you're like me, you might get flustered in the moment and struggle to remember all the steps to give yourself the best chance of catching the Big Fish. Maybe this little song I wrote will help you out!

There is a certain joy with my home wifi ssid and password being a pun.

A joy on hearing my wife groan every time she forgets it and I remind her.

Then a moment of thanks that she has put up with my garbage for so long.

At Buscarron's last night, I got to watch some fresh faces wander in to do low level questing a few stopping in shock before carrying on but some stayed and joined in.

Watching their chat style evolve as the night went on. Seeing them find their stride and their characters voice was as a treat.

Starting Day 4 and over 250 small-sized fish have be caught and recorded!

No Ruby Dragons qualified this morning, with only 1 window left during the derby. There's also some difficulty fish coming up.

Will the fishing community be able to get these rare small fish?! #FFXIV
🔍 Introducing... The Little Derby!

The third annual fishcord #FFXIV fishing derby challenges the community to catch all 289 big fish from ARR -> EW in the next 10 days, but for it to count...

... it must be under a certain size.

My luck with the fanfest lotto goes as expected. I will see you all in the general admission trenches.

Or Disney.

Or a Mahjong parlor.

Starting right about now. One of the longer running annual events on Crystal, a celebration of the Day of the Dead in Hyrstmill of the North Shroud in Balmung.

Come on our for some open world role-play.

Las Jaras y El Venado - You thought we were done? Sif and Dug rightfully deserve another card. Their loving dedication to being wonderful friends to Hani and Dane, its a bit uncanny just the lengths they both go. Erah'sae might simply just be meeting his demise.

30 minutes till start!! 🏹🦌

La Sirena y El Valiente - Dane returns to serenade us, lulling us into the sea with her soft, soothing voice. Joseni is here to beat up anybody who even attempts reaching his wife.

Just 2 more days! 🧜‍♀️👊

Me, thinking: "oh, denmo is on malboro, I'll go say hi!"

Denmo: Runs.

Me: "Ok, I guess we're doing this bit, then."

Mention a song you remember as cool and fun.

Replay the song in your head.

"Oh no..."

How the world has changed.
How more aware we are now then we were then.

It's a good thing, where we are now.
Aware of how things marginalize others.

I wish I'd have been as aware way back then as I am now.

Tomorrow, come out and join us for some open world, walk up role-play at Buscarron's Druthers in the South Shroud of Mateus.

Our EU folks are gathering early at 5PM US Eastern and the US crowd at 8PM US Eastern.

Give or take an hour.

Daylights Savings Time is a special sort of hell.

Please remember to have have some extra kindness for your folks running events, especially if they're in places with different DST rules then you are.

We should all just switch to UTC, then we'd know when everything is...

eventually.

There may be some wonkiness with the FFXIV RP Event Calendar while MS Azure has some issues.

The link resolver was having some problems earlier.

Sorry for the troubles.
October 29, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Three days before All Saints, an eclectic group begin to gather at the South Shroud pub known as Buscarron's Druthers. Will there be a pumpkin spice ale? Will their be candy?

Probably not.

There will, however, be some open world, walk-up role-play over on Mateus, gathering now.

Today is a new one.

A submission to the RP Event Calendar with the URL being the listing on one of the other services. One I usually redirect people to when they submit things that don't belong on the RP Event Calendar.

...

I wonder if this is one of the ones I directed there in the first place.
