HI ALL.
Thank you so much to everyone who came to RISK’s spooky storytelling night!
Unfortunately, the DDoS-ers had other plans.
WE’RE GOING TO OPEN OUR DOORS FOR TWO MORE HOURS OF STORIES TOMORROW - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26TH - FROM 6:00 PM PST TO 8:00 PM PST!
If you can make it, great! If not, no worries! We’d just like to give a couple more guests and friends the stage that was denied them.
And who knows? We may open the FIGHTING RING for a bit...
On to Stormblood with the Riskbreakers!
Our deepest, most heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended our third anniversary party. We all had a blast, and it meant so much to see so many faces, both familiar and new. You were all wonderful guests, and the Sandsea is always open to each of you.
Three years is such an incredible milestone, but it wouldn’t be nearly as special if not for the amazing times we’ve had during that span. And now, with Stormblood approaching so quickly, we’re ready to make even more great memories with all of you.
Hunters’ Meet at the Sandsea :: The Riskbreakers’ Third Anniversary Party!
Ashelia Riot: …Aren’t you a little young to be a hunter?
On Thursday, May 25th from 8:00 PM to midnight EST, the Riskbreakers will be celebrating our company’s three-year anniversary!
We’ve had such an amazing time doing what we do - but with Stormblood fast approaching, we’re looking for even more ways to give back to the XIV community from here on out.
As such, on our anniversary, we’re going to debut what we hope will become a regular event: The Hunters’ Meet, an open tavern night at the Sandsea in which adventurers from all across Eorzea can swap information on hunt marks, dangerous beasts, and strange happenings throughout the realm. Where better to hold such a gathering than the home and headquarters of a secretive independent task force?
This open tavern night will be a means for characters of all sorts to share news and stories, and for roleplayers to make connections that might kick off any plots they’ve had in mind! Whether you’re looking for a good prompt to get your next plot rolling, or if you’re newer to roleplay and are looking for some help getting started, this is the perfect place for you!
If there’s a certain plot you’ve been planning and would like the Riskbreakers to help you advertise or network for it, come see us!
If you’re a new roleplayer, please let us know in advance so that we can help allay any worries or anxieties! The Riskbreakers’ ranks are full of highly experienced writers and roleplayers who are always thrilled to share their knowledge of the pastime, and we have plenty of resources at our disposal for roleplayers of all backgrounds.
We will also be opening our sparring ring to the public for the evening! Please note, however, that we expect all fighters to adhere to the following rules:
Use of the ring will be on a first-come first-served basis.
We will allow whichever combat rules both parties prefer - be it Grindstone, RISK house rules, or scripted - but in order for everyone to have a turn, we ask that fighters adhere to two hits to a win instead of three.
All fighters are to behave respectfully, both IC and OOC. This means friendly, responsible combat only - absolutely no attacking with the intent to injure, and no reckless fighting! Furthermore, mean-spirited heckling or poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated. Should we feel that you or your character are getting carried away, you will be given one OOC warning before being asked to leave.
THE SANDSEA IS LOCATED IN THE GOBLET, WARD 3, PLOT 5, GOBLET WEST. WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU THERE!
Akoo: Ivalice? In my Eorzea?
Fhylie: it's more likely than you think!
Starlight Party at the Sandsea!
Ashelia Riot: Really?! I swear to Nymeia, you all couldn’t have picked a worse spot in the house to-
The Riskbreakers’ third annual Starlight Celebration event will be taking place on Friday, December 23rd from 6:00 PM EST to midnight!
All are welcome! We look forward to celebrating this time of gratitude and charity with the rest of the community. Starlight attire is encouraged but by no means required. There will be plenty of roleplaying; however, those wishing to drop by OOC are more than free to do so.
ALONG WITH THE CUSTOMARY OPEN BAR, WE WILL BE SEEING A RETURN OF...
THE FISTLETOE.
Should you encounter someone under the fistletoe - be they a loved one, a stranger, or a sworn rival - you must fight in the basement*.
And if meeting under the fistletoe requires too much chance for your liking, the sparring ring will be open for the entirety of the evening! Bring your friends and family and enjoy a night of combat and merriment for all!
*As per the house rules, we do allow people to abstain from fighting in the basement should they so choose. We will remember them in our devotions to Rhalgr.
Some quick rules for the fistletoe:
We will allow whichever rules both parties prefer - be it Grindstone, RISK house rules, or scripted - but if there is a crowd, we ask that you adhere to two hits to a win instead of three.
Friendly, responsible combat only! Absolutely no attacking with the intent to injure or maim, and no reckless fighting! If we think you or your character are getting carried away, we will give you a warning before asking you to leave the ring.
Use of the ring will be on a first-come first-served basis; however, we will give guests priority over Riskbreakers.
THE SANDSEA IS LOCATED IN THE GOBLET, WARD 3, PLOT 5, GOBLET WEST. WE CAN’T WAIT TO FIGHT SEE YOU ALL THERE!
Scary Stories at the Sandsea!
Ashelia Riot: And because he saved in the castle, he was caught in a never-ending cycle of- Oh, Zaela, it’s not that frightening!
TO CELEBRATE ALL SAINTS’ WAKE, THE RISKBREAKERS WILL BE HOSTING THEIR SECOND ANNUAL SCARY STORYTELLING EVENT ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30TH FROM 6:00 PM TO 10:00 PM EST!
Back by popular demand, this will be an in-character roleplay event in which guests and Riskbreakers alike may share a spooky story of their choosing! There will also be a newly renovated hot tub space, an open bar, and All Saints’ Wake treats galore!
We have only a few rules:
Only one story per person, please! Every storyteller will have a time limit of fifteen minutes, so try to keep your story fairly brief. If you are able, practice your story ahead of time to ensure you don’t go over fifteen minutes - but seeing as you might wish to respond to audience members’ reactions during the telling of your story, text macros are not recommended.
Please don’t make your story anything too graphic. If in doubt, aim for a PG-13 rating, or ask yourself if it’s something that would be appropriate to appear as part of the game’s canon. If you’re still not sure, feel free to contact me by messaging this blog or by sending a /tell to Ashelia Riot.
Stories can be adapted from other fictional works, especially real-world folktales or even the plots of previous Final Fantasy games… but please, no plagiarism!
The Riskbreakers’ company house, the Sandsea, is located in the Goblet, Ward 3, Plot 5, Goblet West. We hope to see you all there!
If the plane goes down, we're leaving the company to @thefateofivalice.
The RISK linkshell will be having another cleanup!
We’re running out of space in our linkshell, and we have many still interested in joining. As we’ve done in the past, we will be dismissing linkshell members who are inactive or who haven’t contributed to conversations for a noticeable while. Part of our company rules states that we require both company members and linkshell members - anyone involved in our community - to help facilitate a helpful and social atmosphere however they can.
If you’re someone who makes use of our linkshell every once in a while, chances are you won’t get dismissed! If you’re on a less-frequented alt, if you’ve had our linkshell muted, or if you just don’t talk at all, there’s a high chance you’ll be dismissed.
We ask also that non-company members keep no more than two characters in the linkshell at most.
If you are dismissed and would like to be invited back, that’s perfectly fine also; just drop us a line and we’ll invite you back as soon as possible. That said, though, please remember in the future that we expect all linkshell members to communicate and help out relatively often.
If you have any questions - whether it’s about inactivity or if you might be interested in joining the linkshell - feel free to ask!

Caps from the Riskbreaker Fight Night!
It was a really fun event, and I’m super glad I could make it!
There are way too many people to tag, and I apologize if I miss you.
@loreleisyren @sedatayuun @sequoiaofeorzea @ferai-caolann @dravanian @ffxivfisticuffs @amonsaiqaxiv @bardofsand @jace-hunter @onwesterlywinds @opo-opos @catramihgo @ivaan-ffxiv @tovakiin @zenathered
An enormous thank-you to each and every person who came to the anniversary fight night. We’d expected a large turnout, but the actual numbers were easily more than twice what we’d anticipated. We were blown away for sure, and still are.
The event was an overwhelming success, and I don’t think it could have been so without the assistance of a number of people. Most notably, Jude Paw (@dat-paw) put his incredible GIF skills to use for the RISK fight profiles, resulting in the series of member features you’ve likely seen at numerous points throughout the past week. Thanks also to Mirazu Ysen from our good friends at <<GARTS>> - the basement design was his sole creation, and I don’t know how we would have been able to accommodate our many guests without him.
And of course, to all Riskbreakers. It’s been far, far more than a pleasure knowing you, regardless of how long you’ve been in the company. It has been nothing short of a gift. Two years is a long time, and you’ve helped us get there just by being yourself.
But on behalf of all of us, I’d like to send out our love to all of our friends and neighbors. Happy two years, and here’s to longer still.
It is my absolute joy to introduce the Riskbreakers’ newest officer, Zodiac Brave A’zaela Linh!

Introducing the RISK notice board!
We at RISK have added a new means of coordinating roleplay opportunities: the notice board! You may have seen this board hanging up in the bar, and now it can be used to advertise and recruit others for roleplays you’ve had in mind.
Anyone can post something to the notice board, as long as you’ve visited the Sandsea! Alternatively, all visitors are free to respond to the bills posted on the website, though some special missions may be reserved for Riskbreakers only.
If you have any questions about how the process works, please contact me! Our goal with the notice board is to keep everyone in our community informed about the multitude of roleplay possibilities available at the Sandsea.
some quick RISKy valentimes for y’all (except martin, who is in fact a free paw)
i was gonna make more but i just got back from travelling and i’m honestly super tired

Many thanks to @silverruby for helping with this amazing project. Thank you Risk for being an amazing family to me and some of the best people I have ever known. <3
