Just this guy who does fractal art, birding and has an addiction to making tools to support the FFXIV RP community. (https://ffxiv-rp.org)
If you're stuck inside today like I am, perhaps tune Fruity Snacks charity event in support of the Coral Reef Alliance.

There will be fish, fishing in FFXIV, fishing in other games, fish facts, fish... you get the point, I'm floundering in this description but It will be a good catch of an event.
🪸 Fishes of Light Charity event is tomorrow (Donations now open)!

Join me starting at 7am EST for an all day fishing-themed charity event to support the Coral Reef Alliance!

Doing Early Buscarrons tomorrow at 8 pm gmt +1, for any EU rpers wanting to tag along.

Tired of feeling disconnected with the latest Dancing Dalmascan Offensive Samba pieces?

Come on out to Buscarron's Druthers for some open-world, walk-up role-play tonight at 8PM US Eastern on Mateus in the South Shroud.

Ok... that was bad, but the role-play is better than my puns.

I had thought about making another blue sky to keep FFXIV and Elite Dangerous separated but, I think you all can deal with my occasional flights of fancy for this four month expedition into the black.

Our idling around basecamp the night before the Distant Worlds Three launch looked like it should be some sort of album cover. #elitedangerous #distantworlds3

I'm always amused that for any social event in Elite Dangerous, when I party my Beluga somewhere it becomes a beacon for people to gather around.

My old ship, Daedalus's Folly will be enabling me to make bad decisions in another Distant Worlds expedition. #EliteDangerous #DistantWorlds3.

Erah'sae is perpetually broke, going from courier gig to courier gig. He spends what he makes almost as soon as he gets it. Often on food, supplies, but sometimes on nice things for those he cares about.

What he doesn't spend or use he often leaves behind for someone else who can.
What would you say is your character's main source of income IC? Do they earn their gil through random quests on their adventure, or are they perhaps a skilled crafter?
Would you say your character is well off or more on the poor side?

It depends.

If you're doing open roleplay a carrd / profile should be a taste. It should be the hooks one can find out about with casual effort. Enough to tell the styles and themes of stories you tell with the character. Leave the rest for discovery.

If you're mostly writing prose, not so much.
#wolqotd for the roleplayers bc i'm TORN. if you have a carrd do you drop the whole backstory or are you a "find out in RP" kinda person.

For those of you looking for a good aggregate source of information about open world role-play information this might be a good place to start.

Tonight we're expecting the DDOS's to be pretty painful, but if you want to dare them, come weather the storm with us out at Buscarron's Druthers tonight in the South Shroud of Mateus.

I'll be there at 8pm and I'm expecting things to be back in full swing next week.

Not only a perfect denouement, it was the end of an era. Thirty years ago today, this strip was published.

Melodic Blue, who's brought a bunch of us together at Dragon Con for a few years now, is doing a marathon casual charity stream today.

If you're looking for something to do on this final day of the year, give them a look, they'll be running all day.

Come close out the year with one last trip to Buscarron's. We'll be back again next week, but that's a whole year from now. That's so long away.

Join us for open world, walk-up role-play at Buscarron's Druthers in the South Shroud of Mateus, at both 5PM and 8PM US Eastern. #ffxiv #ffxivrp

A little late to the party, and I need to get back to producing these, but why not...

Welcome back, artists!

Turns out this cat got an early Starlight gift of the flu. I'm not certain if I'll be about being social much tonight.

But for everyone else that still has energy to spend with people, there's more open-world, walk-up role-play to be had.

Join us at Buscarron's Druthers on Mateus at 8PM US Eastern
December 23, 2025 at 10:26 PM
Time for this cat to call it a night.
I'll see some of you at Buscarron's tomorrow.

Be well and happy starlight.

Four hours later and the Startlight Market is starting to wind down a little, but still going fairly strong. Still several dozen people out here with their stories interacting.

It has been a brilliant night. Thank you to everyone who decided to come out and have your stories interact with ours.
December 23, 2025 at 5:26 AM
A few folks have opened up stalls with people hawking wares. Role-players are starting to slowly filter in.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of you all out and about tonight.
A few of us were talking about how nifty it might be to do some walk-up role-play at the Starlight Markets.

So, Monday at 8PM US Eastern some of us are going to get together on the Mateus markets for open world, walk up roleplay.

Feel free to come out and join us! #ffixv #ffixvrp

I'm curious, beyond normal Starlight gift givings and Winter's Knell feasts, do your characters/warriors of light have any other practices/habits around the turning of the year?

Any superstitions or rituals they or their families/people do to close out one year and bring in a fresh one?

The emperor was sitting in his bed when the assassin came in through the window.

"Welcome, old friend."

"Wait," the assassin wheezed.

The emperor waited for him to catch his breath.

"I'm too old for this," the assassin said at last.

A few notches below the medium height slider, I think. 5'3" maybe?

To be honest, I can't remember and it's never actually come up in role-play in the last decade.

How tall is your wol / oc? (Approximate is fine!)
