Show Contenttiredofsametab@fedia.io4·13 days agoThe old TSR/SSI game Unlimited Adventures had randomized potion colors. It’s also how I learned that khaki is not pronounced ‘kahiki’ when trying to explain what was going on to someone (I knew khakis as a type of trouser not a color). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgotten_Realms%3A_Unlimited_Adventures Edit: or maybe I’m thinking of another gold-box game if that one didn’t have some random generation. Hrm.
