Aha. I guess it's just that. So if I want to interact with the stuff that's already there when I subscribe, I'm out of luck?

Not seeing posts in subs from other instances--Where's the problem? (ttrpg.network)
 

Basically what I said. This is the latest episode in the main speedbump I keep hitting with lemmy.

I'm trying to follow broadly when new TTRPG instances crop up. (DIYRPG.org is the latest I know of, and the one I'm currently having trouble with.) When I navigate to the communities from my ttrpg.network account, I can't see any of the existing posts.

So is the problem on this end (ttrpg.network isn't asking for the content) or their end (diyrpg.org isn't sending the content)? And is there anything I can do about it?

If this can't work smoothly, I'd at least like to know how it works.

Best Fencing Weapon for Combat Historically in c/[email protected]

For one-on-one dueling, using a weapon you can wear as a sidearm, the rapier has the advantage; that's what it's optimized for. If small group combat is a possibility, other swords might be useful: an estoc if you might encounter armor, or a curved sword if you need to move quickly between multiple opponents.

I would rule out the epee and small sword. They are basically rapiers that sacrifice effectiveness in order to be less cumbersome as fashion accessories.

My party was hurrying through some caverns to rescue some prisoners. While taking a shortcut they encountered a roper, dangling from the ceiling among the stalactites.

Several of the party spent most of the fight hanging upside-down, being pulled upwards toward the roper.

After they'd defeated the roper and moved on to where one of the prisoners was being held, he asked them why they hadn't come sooner.

The sorcerer replied, "We got held up."
