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.

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.

Note to the jam organiser: If you select this prompt for the pack please email me for a high res print quality PDF.
