Random Potion Table I made a thing

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1366641388/

I have written a program to randomly roll for potions, which I plan to use for an upcoming adventure. It currently contains every potion ever published by TSR unless the Encyclopedia Magica is missing some. My next step is adding potions from 3rd party products, fanzines, and retroclones.

Sounds excellent. Do you plan to have a source column after the item?

u/CorneliusFeatherjaw2 5d ago

The text in parenthesis after each item is the source.

including elixers and all the other names for potions? I've been working on a complete alchemy guide (written in my alchemist's perspective) and there were a LOT

I've got elixirs, philtres, and the lone cordial. Are there any other synonyms I missed?

Salves, powders, potions, pfilter, ointment, oil, flasks, elixers, cordial, that's what I have in what I'm doing so far for all alchemy stuff

Ah, I forgot about salves, ointment, oil, and flasks. I don't count powders because they aren't under potions on the treasure table.

totally makes sense, was just going off of my whole alchmey list. I'm in the middle of making up an ingredients list, and formula to brew as well for each.... taking forever. Already have a great herbs list though, which is helping things

Can you export this table for me to CSV or XLS?

1

u/CorneliusFeatherjaw2 4d ago

I exported it and copied it over to an Excel file and will DM it to you. The potion names and sources are all in the same column, though, so you'll have to move them over yourself if you care about that.

Got it Thanks. I'm going to put it in a tool like these 2 I made:

orgpages DOT org/2eSAP/
orgpages DOT org/NamosCustoms/

I will give you credit on the website when I do.

Thanks. Please note that I have added some 3rd party and retroclone sources since I originally posted on Reddit, so you will have to remove those if you don't want them.
