Hello dear friend. Due to the holiday season being so hectic I wasn't able to sit down with any planned guests for November. So instead I am uploading the audio from my panel at this year's Aethercon. Titled "You already roleplay. You just don't know it yet." this panel is about people's conceptions around roleplay, why they may be nervous to roleplay, and how you can start roleplaying in Final Fantasy XIV. I hope you enjoy it. I also want to give a big thank you once again to Aethercon for allowing me to do this panel.
