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)
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! 🧜‍♀️👊

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.

In about an hour and a half from the time of this post, at 7PM US Eastern, over on the Materia Data Center (all can data center visit to join) the Museum network is having a pun-fulled murder mystery.

Hopefully I'll see some of you there.

Personally, I'm suspicious of Count Par-Wrasse.

I've heard Erah'sae pronounced in so many different ways sometimes I forget what the original pronunciation was.

I always assume other characters pronounce it correctly unless someone specifically accents it weird.

I've yet to actually run into another Erah'sae in person, though.
#wolqotd do other people ever have difficulty remembering or pronouncing your WoL's name? or is it so common they meet other people with the same name? what does your WoL think about that?
October 24, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Erah'sae would feature in some sort of survival/horror game where he's both trying to survive in the depths of a forest that wants to eat him while evade family that wants to keep him there. A low powered dark souls-esque game focused on escape instead of "winning" the fights.
a new #wolqotd for you, ready?

your wol/oc has to feature in another genre of video game. what is it?

okay, you're not allowed to pick that one. pick a different answer! bonus points if you say what your reflex answer what and then how long you had to think for the second.

recycling with a twist!

There is so much going on in the FFXIV RP community all the time. It can create a sense of fatigue, always moving from one event to the next.

Sometimes it is good to let the the characters sit and their stories develop in the quieter moments between.
October 22, 2025 at 4:35 PM
It's that time of the week again. Be they travelers moving goods from Ul'dah to Ishgard, locals grabbing a pint, or a shroud cat looking to dodge a Wood wailer, all are welcome to join us for some open world, walk-up role-play in the South Shroud at Buscarron's Druthers on Mateus.

Obligatory "There's roleplay here, you should join us" post of the week.

Come out and join us at Buscarron's Druthers in the South Shroud of Mateus for some open world, walk up roleplay tonight. We're expecting roleplay happening from about 5PM US Eastern until people wander off. #ffxivrp #ffxiv
October 14, 2025 at 4:01 PM
Yeee! Someone somewhere decided that Erah'sae has a white streak in his hair. I don't remember who did it first.

Thanks for making aer of my cat, Fox!

It's grown on me over the years.

Thanks @straycatte.bsky.social !

I am hoping to drag a number of Keepers of the Moon and those who tolerate us out to this wonderful gathering where, conveniently, food is being fished up.

What more could a hungry Shroud Cat want?

Lets pick a day and do this entirely in character, perhaps?
