Tried And True Brew (TTRPG Adventure Seed)
A downloadable adventure seed
Tried And True Brew is an adventure seed I created for the Tiny Library: CCG Jam #1, which required the seed to fit on a bridge-sized playing card. It is most suitable for a fantasy setting and can be used by a solo player or a group.
It is MOSAIC Strict and CERAMIC Strict.
You need to brew a potion to continue on in your adventure but it's not off to a good start. You bought a faulty cauldron at a discount store and the recipe is imprecise. You'll have to experiment to figure out how to create the exact potion you need. Someone will have to be the guinea pig. Good luck!
The seed idea is based on two nanofiction stories I wrote in October 2021, which are in the sidebar for those who would like to read them.
The zipped download package contains PNG files of the front and back of the card, as well as a text-only document for those who would like an accessible version.

This is really clever! I'm a huge fan of crafting and magic, and potions are such a perfect blend of the two. I love the openness in getting attributes from different animals, and how a DM could even just be like "Nope, you don't get the strength of a bear, you just get the size of a bear" or something else silly 🤣
