The Apothecary is similar in some regards to the Grimoirum and Schematics board, in that a player can invent new potions (or have their character do so) for use in the game. However, the Apothecary isn't really IC, nor is it really OOC. It's more for the lulz. :-P
BUYING POTIONS
In order to buy a potion, you, as a player, must pay for it, using your post count. Make a request in the Shopping List thread, saying what potion you want and which character will get it, and the price will be subtracted from your post count. You, as a player, will be expected to remember which potion(s) your characters have.
Please note that post counts are disabled in all the OOC boards except the Plotting/Scheming board. This means that you can't spam like crazy and expect to earn potion-money that way. Sorry, you'll have to get your potions the old-fashioned way.
INVENTORY OF POTIONS
Also, please check the Shopping List thread often, as new potions will be added as they are approved. Keep in mind, there is not an infinite amount of each potion for all the players to buy from. The Shopping List thread contains not only the price and effect of each potion, but the number in stock. If you want a potion that's sold out, you'll have to wait until there is more available for purchase.
PLEASE don't take the Apothecary too seriously. It's mostly a way to reward members for all their hard work, but it's not meant to drastically change anything.
INVENTING POTIONS
To submit an invented potion, please use the template provided. Post a new thread in this board with the name of your potion as the title. If your potion is approved, you (as a player) will get one bottle for free to give to one of your characters and your potion will be added to the Shopping List thread.
Use this template when submitting a new potion. Remember, once approved, the potion will appear in the Shopping List thread. If it does not, it is not approved, and not up for purchase.
Use the following code:
When you've done it right, it'll look something like this. Remember, delete the italicized text. That's only there for your information, it is not part of the template.
Player/Character Name: (Your name. Duh.)
Potion Name: (Give a name to your creation!)
Potion Traits: (Remember in the HP books when they describe the smell, color, thickness, and texture of potions? Do that here. Note that these traits may not appear in the Shopping List description of the potion, but describe them anyway.)
Effects: (So...what does it do? BE VERY SPECIFIC. Please note, potions must abide by the general rules for the game: no killing characters, no godmodding, no controlling other people's characters, etc. Aside from that, be as creative as you like.)
Suggested Retail Price: (Although admins set prices, please give a suggestion for what the price of your concotion would be. If you would like it to be available in the Colosseum, list what price it ought to be in Colosseum points, such as Honor, Glory, or Wealth.)
