"Medica Plantarum is a rules expansion for herbalism and/or potion craft within TTRPGs. This guide was written with the goal of science education. It’s a TTRPG guide for players or GMs who think plants and fungi are cool, and are looking for an interesting way to bring some real botany into their games.
On the surface, this is a mechanic to recreate, or create new potions, fill party downtime, or inspire character agency. At its core, this is an educational guide for players or GMs who want to use real plant biology to inform their potion craft. Medica Plantarum presents biology, history, folklore, and mythology to give folks a unique lens in which to discover the wonder of plant diversity.
The ultimate goal of this guide is to inspire players and GMs to create their own potions by learning about the plants around them. For this reason, Medica Plantarum is free to encourage others to bring a love of plants into the TTRPG space."
