I'm just looking for a simple list of magical items (just oils or are there others?) and which pages they appeared on. I don't need the descriptions or anything else; I'm just indexing, and I can't find this issue anywhere.
Thank you for your time; I'll be happy to return the favor if I can.  |

I submitted a potion of hypersensitivity as well. It's been a long time and a lot of lost brain cells, but I think it gave bonuses to any check involving the senses (finding traps, listening at door, or finding secret doors, for example) but while under its influence the imbiber automatically failed saves against attacks that assaulted the senses (like a harpy's song). |

I loved little gems like these articles. Shawn, out of curiosity, what was your other submitted potion? It lists you in the credits for the "Resuscitation" potion.
DM: So, the door opens and you see a magnificent wizard's laboratory. It's filled with alchemical equipment and shelf after shelf of interesting-looking potions and oils. Some of them swirl with vibrant color, others have fizzy bubbles, and some have rather pungent but alluring aromas. Do you want to try any of them? Just a 'lil taste?
Player: You mean... sampling random potions that could kill us instantly or turn us into goop or jelly?
DM: It's probably the best way to determine what each potion does, just a drop on the tongue. *eyes glitter with evil anticipation*
Player: But I, that's just... yes, yes I do.

I remember that contest. I submitted 2 potions, but only 1 made it. Thanks for the memory! |

 Thankya very much! That's all I need.
And yea I remember the taste-testing thing too... crazy! Somehow there was always enough for a full effect after (sometimes several) tastes were taken. |

I don't mind really, lazy day here today and I type pretty fast. Okay, here goes:
Polyhedron #65, "Oceans of Potions" article. These were apparently the good (winning?) submissions for a potion contest they offered earlier.
Pages 10-11 are randomized tables of the below potions, in d20-style. The tables also note XP value and gp cost if the potion is to be sold (AD&D edition).

Then there's a long list of credits for who offered each potion or oil for the contest. Let me know if you need additional info. Some of the potions remind me of a DM we had a long, long time ago who liked to put wizard~alchemist laboratories into dungeons we'd explore. Why on earth (or at the time, Greyhawk) we ever decided that taste-testing random magical fluids was a good idea, I still don't know, lol!).

Hm. No need to type them all out if it's a long list. I have the 4 volume Encyclopedia Magica but I've been noticing what seems to me like a lot of typographical errors so I was thinking of checking them against the original source. Not a high priority, though; there's plenty of other stuff to occupy myself with.
Thank you both for the replies! |

I have issue 65. There's an interesting tavern for Raven's Bluff on page 6, and a large number of unusual potions starting on page 12. Do you need a list of each potion?

I had it a long time ago but after photocopying all the FR content, all my issues were sacrificed for space. Sorry!
