Topic: Herbs from Kulthea

[fac]

In my game people asked me about herbs, herbs, and more herbs.

So I took the list from the SW Master Atlas and put it in ODS format, so I can filter by climate, area, compass, etc. I also created a data pilot to make a better looking filter.

In this way every GM can choose the herbs available in each area.

You can check the vault here:

If somebody wants the file in Excel/Pivot Table let me know.

Hope that helps.

YEah, I don't have the software to open it, so if you could put it in Excel that would be great.

Thanks!

Usually I prefer to use Open Office but at work I have MS Excel to make nasty pivot tables. I will upload it to the vault, but until that moment you can find it here

I had to compress it because Excel makes files with Pivot Tables ridicuosly big, so it's usual to discover after uncompressing that the file is >1 Mb.

Now that is a sweet app.  Should put it on i-phones.

It is useful.  You don't happen to have a version with all of the herbs from RM do you?

I've got an excel sheet with all the herbs and poisons from every RM supplement published with the exception of some M**P modules.   I have Hands of the Healer but have not gone through it to harvest all those herbs because I know such a work would be unpublishable.   It's been an ongoing project for me for a while now in an effort to create a supplement for using herbs that was friendly and easy pick up for on the fly uses. 

For instance, while the Excel sheet is useful if you have it at the gaming table, many people prefer hardcopies so I've been creating a series of tables for each climate, or locale, etc.     I've also been working on a series of more detailed rules for foraging and finding herbs, and for using herb lore for remembering details of herbs for certain regions, as well as more detailed rules for herb usage and preparation into various forms (tinctures, poultices, etc).

Finally, I've started musings on new spell lists for Herbs.  I'm envisioning a replacement for the Animist list, as well as a Closed list for each realm that differ slightly, as well as a Poison list.

But for now, back to the Shadow World Player Guide!

No, but if you have the books in pdf format you cann add more herbs.

You could upload that file in the same way as I did so everybody can get that info.

Anyway, mi idea is not to use the file during the game, I just want to filter by area where they are and print the herbs available. I don't like to check all the codes used when the healer is foraging the area or the PC are going to a herbalist.
