Old World Medicinals
Posted: Tue Feb 15, 2022 2:59 pm
In and amidst my many half finished projects, I am trying to outline the next chapter of my campaign which I intend to be an adaptation of Philip K Dick's book Ubik.
Obviously an aerosol spray is out of the question for The Old World (is it? Hmmm) but what other forms could a medicinal take that would be appropriate for the Empire? Off the top of my head:
Lotions/salves/unguents
A blessed/magical item
Herb poultices (Here I'm thinking of a wad of raw herbs, similar to what Clint Eastwood used in The Outlaw Josey Wales).
Teas/brews.
Elixirs (A chemical diffusion into water, as opposed to teas which are osmosing plant based beneficials).
Smokables (Opium, tobacco, other)
Anything else? Any other ideas come to mind when you hear that I'm adapting Ubik?
