Liber Etcetera: Rhya's Gifts

"But it wasn't all bloodshed. No, I remember innovation, too. 'Progress,' they called it. 'The March to the Grave' may have been more fitting, as folk ripped Rhya's Gifts from the land… 

I remember, clearly, 'guardians of the wilds', wise women, great Druids, and other keen folk peddling their potions and tinctures, cure-alls and elixirs. At first, it was just 'the way things were.' The world was harsh, and civilisation was about protecting us from the outside world. Then, with the advent of industry, these same wise folk called their mixtures 'Natural' and 'Clean', as opposed to the filth of cities and urban living. So much for the march of progress.

It's not all doom and gloom, though — well, it wasn't up until relatively recently. Only a fool would say that the apothecaries were hacks, or that they didn't do immesurable good for countless folk before the end. But it still leaves me with questions:

Where would we be if we had left well enough alone Rhya's Gifts?"

Introducing Liber Etcetera: Rhya's Gifts!

Liber Etcetera: Rhya's Gifts is an unofficial fan supplement for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4^th Edition, focusing on Herbalism and Potion Making.

Rhya's Gifts was actually one of the first hacks for 2^nd Edition that I ever wrote, many many years ago. I posted the old version on my old blog versamus, which I have no idea if it still exists. If it does, I'm certain the old link won't work for the download, anyway. Which, in truth, is for the best: this new one is so much better!

I completely overhauled the old system, added in a bunch of new types of Ingredients, based off of the Spell Ingredients in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4^th Edition and completely changed… well… basically everything from the original. It's, essentially, all brand new.

This system is rather niche, and should give a lot of utility to those Players who like to finagle with interesting mechanics (like me).

Until next time (and the next release), I hope you have more Warhammer in your life.
