One fateful day, the Apothecaire leaves her little cottage on a week-long journey, instructing you, her apprentices, to take care of any customers who stop by for potions. While there are lists of ingredients and recipes for brewing standard potions if supplies run out, not all your customers want something ready made.

As part of your apprenticeship, you must maintain the potions log in the big, dusty tome the Apothecaire keeps as a record of her time and ingredients, as well as descriptions of the customers themselves, for their energy and mood also affect the magical working.

The Apothecaire's Apprentice is the latest game from La Lionne Publishing, which hit 364% of its funding goal by the end of its Kickstarter! It uses 1d4, 1d8, and a deck of cards to create potions for demanding clients as you shape the world around your apprentice character. Do they succeed while the Apothecaire is away, or will she come home to find that they require just a bit more training before their apprenticeship is complete?
