For what I got in the physical copy of the book, this wasn't worth it. Maybe if I got the book on sale and just the pdf version, but I'd say that most everyone could give the physical copy a hard pass, as nice as the printing is. The contents of this book are nice but they are over prices given certian alternatives available on the net now. I can go to the DMs Guild and find at least two other pdf docs that have just as many posions, minus all the fluff that this book has. The only reason this product isn't rated lower by me is that it doesn't just give you a list of posions, it also gives yo things like processes to creat phylactories and the ways to improve posions in the game, that are not currently present. All in all, wait for the product to go on sale before you purchase it, but also don't be afraid to look else where for good products, there's a lot more out there now in comparision to a few years ago.

Wish granted! I appreciate the feedback, and I hope you get a lot of use out of it. On a side note, I do plan on updating this book in 2019 with some new content and a few minor corrections. Anyone who purchased this one will have access to the update for free. Alex (aka Captain Gothnog)

I am running a 5E campaign that is heavy on Quests (Resource Gathering), Herbalism, and Alchemy, and found this resource extremely helpful. The layout and text is easy to read, colorful, and natural. I found the backgrounds, feats, histories, and spells, well-targeted as well.

I do wish this resource had the following, only so I don't have to create them (wish list, not negatives to resource as-is):

1 - Summary table(s) of Main Ingredients/Components for Potions Non-Magical & Potions Magical. 2 - Detailed Lesser/Common Ingredients: fats, waxes, flavorings, etc with costs. 3 - Detailed Gear/Equipment for Ingredient Gatherers, Herbalists, and Alchemists to purchase. Alchemist Supplies & Herbalism Kit are too generic.
4 - Roll tables for Gathering Ingredients: perhaps by biome, region, climate, time-of-year maturity. 5 - Magical Items that are directly associated to Potions & Poisons (Recipe Scrolls, Herbal Lore Books, Alchemical Equipment, Poisoning Paraphernalia).

The most important thing I would like is a Print-friendly version, much like the Critical Hit's Cantrips resource (or a background layer I could turn off).

Hey guy just bought this and it is a really really well done book. Potion and poisons are ussaly over looked or just slightly looked at in the many dmgs out there and I always thought they needed more love. This book gives potions and poisons the love they deserve. There is tons of good info and a must have for you games.
