A beautifully drawn portrait of four of the Ohm Basin's Martial Union's most prominent members: Brain the Monk, Octavia the Fighter, Keyleth the Paladin, and Jalil the Psychic Warrior.

Hey Adventurers! Our staff got together for a big meeting yesterday and made a few rules changes. They will be added to our published rules soon, but until then, they are in effect.

First, some minor changes:

• Female Drow can now choose to swap their +2 bonus to Intelligence for Wisdom
• The Gray and Sun Elves now have a Level Adjustment of +1. Existing characters are grandfathered in. Our DM team is working on slightly buffing the races to make them worth the Level Adjustment, but these changes are still in development.
• The Psychic Reformation power is banned.
• The Imbue with Spell Ability, Psionic Identify, and Bestow Power spells/powers cannot be used by Spell-casting Improvements.
• Feats that reduce the cost of crafting magic items are banned.
• The Rapid Reload feat works with Renaissance firearms. With this, they take a move action to reload.

New Improvements! We've added two new Improvements to our Organization rules: A Barracks that gives an organization several NPC henchmen, and a Locus that allows the Organization free access to psionic powers.

Rules for Guilds! We've released official guidelines for Guilds fixing prices! Current guild leaders have access to these guidelines, and they will be published soon.

Crafting Points! Characters with magic item-crafting feats will get a reserve of "Craft Points" every level based on the number of crafting feats they have. The exact formula for these points is to be decided soon!

Anniversary Dungeon! Starting November 16th and running for a week, the Axe and Sickle will be holding its second bi-annual Anniversary Dungeon! Our DMs are hard at work putting it together, but start sharpening your chalk and polishing your 10-foot poles!

Howdy! I’m Drew, and I’m the administrator of a Socialist West-Marches DnD 3.5e Discord Server, the Axe and Sickle! The server is over a year old, has a dozen DMs, over 30 active members (and over a hundred lurkers), and hosts an average of 2 or 3 games a week. The game has an old-school, traditional fantasy feel.

Devastated by an unknown catastrophe centuries ago, the Ohm Basin is home to naught but monsters and outlaws. A retired adventurer from a foreign land has founded a town in the middle of it, and adventurers - such as yourselves - file into its tavern, the Axe and Sickle, to secure their own fortune! Plunge ancient depths to uncover lost secrets, thwart necromancers who build their strength away from civilization, and compete with fellow grave-robbers to loot forgotten tombs!

If you don’t know what a West Marches Game is, it is a style of DnD game where, rather than a static party that meets regularly and follows the DM’s campaign, the players themselves choose who to adventure with (and when to meet) for a single expedition before returning to town and disbanding. This is good for players with inconsistent schedules and interest, as it is an extremely low-commitment game. You don’t need to set aside any time in your schedule for this game on a permanent basis; just pick a time and day that works for you, one session at a time. And if you have the energy for anywhere between two games a week to one game a month or even one game ever, you can be accommodated.

The only things required are a Discord account and a mic. Prior DnD experience is not; everyone is welcome. For now, all games are run in English. The game is a safe space for Socialists but anyone is welcome as long as they aren't disruptive.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. We’ve recently expanded our DM team and are looking to run even more games than we do now, but to do that we need more players. We’d love to have you!

Is there any way to view all posts on a given instance (as if that instance was your home instance and set to "local"), and not just a specific community/communities you are subscribed to?

Specifically, my home instance is Lemmygrad, but I'm interested in ttrpgs and want to keep up with ttrpg.network. This instance is relatively inactive so I never see their posts on my front page, and it's content is spread over several communities. I want to be able to see what's going on there while still using my Lemmygrad account.

Stovetop strip steak, roasted veggies and steak fries, mushroom and onion topping, and the best garlic bread I've had in my life.

Measuring is for nerds. I just vibe.

Marinade (24/hr):

Mostly soy sauce

Olive oil

Worcester sauce

Lemon juice

Red wine vinegar

Garlic powder

Dried rosemary

Steak:

New York Strip. Boneless, because I don't like the hassle (and the boneless was on sale for $7.99/lb!)

McCormick Montreal steak seasoning

Fried in butter. I put some more on it at some point. Butter.

After cooking, put some garlic spread on

4 min. on each side in the pan, 15 minutes in the oven

Let it rest!

Topping:

Half a sweet onion

Two 4 oz cans of mushrooms

Two jalapeno peppers

A garlic bulb (chopped)

A lil bit of sweet red wine

A spoonful of sugar, added near the end

Fried in olive oil, like 10 minutes? Until the wine is reduced.

Veggies:

The other half of the onion

Another garlic bulb (just thrown in there)

Another jalapeno pepper

A big ole' carrot

A bag of frozen steak fries, forgotten about and added 5 minutes after the other veggies

Cook for half an hour at 450 F.

Garlic Bread:

Two loaves of Italian bread

The majority of a tin of garlic spread

Seasoned salt

A whole lot of Parmesan cheese, freshly grated.

Italian seasoning

15 minutes at 450 F.

Here's the recipe:

3 sticks of celery

One large carrot

A bulb of garlic

2 Lbs. of chicken breast

8 cups of wide egg noodles

8 cups of chicken broth (+2 cups of water)

Fried the chicken in olive oil, then the carrot and celery in butter. Added the chopped garlic then the broth, brought to a boil then added the noodles. After about 15 minutes of cooking added the chicken back in. Haven't tasted it yet, but I burned my tongue on the broth lol.

Prior DnD experience is not; everyone is welcome. For now, all games are run in English. The game is a safe space for Socialists but anyone is welcome as long as you keep your mouth shut about politics if you aren't one.
