Accurate. One of my few writings for this game explored this.
The HW blacksmith quests are a better paladin quest line than the HW paladin quests. #FFXIV

We doin' a character create challenge again! I tried a different format than I'd done before, not sure I like how it turned out though. Lemme know what you think!
RPG Character concepts – January 2026
That's right dear readers, we're doing it again! Why you ask? Three reasons. My therapist told me that creative outlets are good for my mental health. She knew about the challenge I laid out back in 2024, but she helped me see it in that light, which was honestly not something I'd considered. My brain is somewhat better now, but I enjoyed the process so much, I figure why not.

I just finished that book a few minutes ago! As a D&D dragon enjoyer, I still think It’s very cool that they decided to step away from them and make their own dragon lore.

“R2-D2, you know better than to trust a strange computer” is still good advice nearly 50 years later.

spent most of the week dreading a friday meeting because I am, to quote @thekmatt.bsky.social "my own worst critic"

She was right, as usual.

Anyway she also brought me a giant bag of loaded taco doritos of which I have eaten far too many and will regret later. because she's the fucking best.

Meet Fearless Willow! Left an abusive family, found love and happiness in Eorzea. Also saved the world a few times along the way.

Comvat. I’m stealing that to use as a character name.

Building Nadarr – Caster Edition

Building Nadarr – Caster Edition
As I mentioned back in my top 5 series on the class, one of my favorite things to see in a homebrew warlock subclass is when they provide options to customize the base warlock frame to fit the theme of the patron, be they bonus spells, invocations, or even subclass features. Kibbles' Dragon Warlock earned the number 2 spot on that list in part because I feel its design is so very good at this.

I have three alts. I have a lot of lore for them but in terms of gameplay, as a rule the only things I do on them are the MSQ, leveling their canonical jobs, and the role quests. Rheika is in 7.1, Fearless just started 7.0, Dahkar is in early EW.

This one is for the players!

Do you have any alts? If so, do you participate in all seasonal events with them? Do you play MSQ only up to a certain point or are you trying to get them up to speed? Have any extensive lore for them as well? Just talk about your alts if you want to!

This is why you need a D&D friend not in your game that is happy to hear plot twist gushing.

It’s me. I’m the friend.

Not sure what it says about me that my brain compulsively adds “and NOT in a fun way!” anytime I say or read “Fuck <x>”

But also, Fuck ICE

Most of the time, my blogposts are written for my own enjoyment. If someone else likes em? Cool. If not, I ain’t bothered.

Every now and again I write something and after I schedule it, I think “I really hope <very specific person> sees this and enjoys it”

Not the same person every time, mind you

The Fidget is playing her first D&D game with friends today. She's a half-elf bard.

She just sent me an audio message.

"Dad I killed four people with Vicious Mockery, and also I got an orc boyfriend!"

I'm so proud of her.

Aaah. I was a big fan of the old expanded universe in which he also survived, but considering what they did with the character this go around, I would’ve been fine if he hadn’t.

We died laughing when we got it and @thekmatt.bsky.social was indignant (jokingly) on Ben’s behalf!
