Also, out of curiosity, do you just have the base game, or any of the supplements? I'm still just playing with the base and a slight bit of one supplement. There's so much to enjoy in that one book!

Everything here is delightful, and I really like what you're doing with Patchwork Potions. Such a nice little map! And your character drawings made me smile. This is awesome, and I hope you continue to love playing!
Your reagent tuck pockets are also the best. Wonderful idea!

My goodness, this is amazing! I love it so much, and had never heard of the concept of a junk journal. Seems perfect for solo journalling RPGs, especially this one!Everything here is delightful, and I really like what you're doing with Patchwork Potions. Such a nice little map!

I’ve mentioned this before but I tried to GM Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frost Maiden (D&D 5e) and it did not take long to fizzle, flop, self-immolate (take your pick!). I find the setting and the lore fascinating. I blame myself for the failure but I would love to play or run it sometime. I do recall people here saying the campaign was rather poorly constructed and falls apart later but I suppose I did not get far enough along to experience that./pic9847354.jpg)

Animon Story's published Legend's Wake campaign, as a player. Lasted one session, ended because it was the GM's first time GMing a campaign and they got too stressed to continue (I think getting the second session had become a bit of a headache for them with them needing to cancel a couple in a row giving them time to get in their own head about it before settling in to realizing they could do it. The first session went great). Would love to get to play the campaign as a player before I run it for one of my groups.

Yeah for playing the same game! Thanks for the kind words, too. For Patchwork Potions, I'll have a follow up post soon that shows how I'm filling in my grid.
My amazing bare glimpse of it can be seen in the first photo. I drew a 6 x 6 grid and chose a color for each of the types. It recommends choosing based on the season, and having a new grid per season.
At the start of downtime, I follow Patchwork Potions to find a space and then (possibly rolling for it) the primary and secondary type. I use this to guide what I do during downtime.
For example, I really wanted to explore the cottage some more during the first week, but Patchwork Potions pointed me to relationships. Unexpected, yet I got off to a lovely start building some connections!

Funnily enough I'm playing Apothecaria right now and I've also been somewhat mashing it up with Patchwork Potions!
I enjoy the humour in Apothecaria. I've been meaning to post about what I've been doing but I keep not getting around to it!
I agree that your handwriting is lovely and your journals look amazing! I'm interested in reading more about how you're pairing this up with Patchwork Potions.
