    Oooh i think his name is Lucio. These colours, from what i know, depend on which skin you have on

      I used yellow for health to avoid red/green colourblind issues

      I love the possibility of having a red/green colorblind character and having to roll to hopefully pick the right potion when they both health potion and poison in their bag.

        Reminds me of that overwatch character with the yellow healing aura and the green speed aura. Just why?

        In Overwatch, healing is consistently represented by the color yellow. Mercy’s beam, Ana’s darts, Moira’s piss, Soldier’s healyboo, etc. Making Lucio’s speed aura yellow and healing aura green would be visually confusing

          Nethack (and derivatives) is pretty much the only game I know of where the health potions may or may not be red.

          And I guess Dark Souls… It’s more of an orange than a red. But maybe that’s just the color of the flask. Idk what the substance inside looks like. 🤷🏻‍♂️

              The 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).

                “There are no ‘rules’ for fantasy”

                Wrong. To write good Fantasy (of SciFi), you have to go through a process called “World Building” where you lay down the rules of your world. Properly done, the amount of World Building exceeds the actual works by far. It is absolutely necessary to create a core of inner logic to the story. You are not bound by the rules of our world, yes, but you are bound by the rule of consistency. If you violate those, you automatically write crap Fantasy (or SciFi).

                Funny, though, that e.g. many literature teachers / professors don’t even know about the idea of World Building.

                  Then the insides have to be red for it to appear orange through green glass. The health potion is red!

                    Why should your fantasy game be limited by something like “health”. Whether you die should be based on vibes.

                        Toss a lighted match into the growing puddle.

                        Match goes out.

                        Shoot it directly with a flamethrower.

                        Puddle burns slightly like a gas stove before going out again.

                          Honestly the only colour I don’t feel uncertain about is orange, that’s always bad.

                          Also on the topic of health potions, a great piece of advice I once heard was that if your players are in a foreign land, remove health potions. Give them health biscuits and watch them reconcile with God.

                              Green glow: radiation
                              Brown water: radiation
                              Bottled Water: Good!
                              Not really, believe it or not, radiation. (You must be thinking of purified water)

                                Pixel dungeon does the same thing, you don’t know when you start a run what any color potion does. So they’re randomized.

                                    I feel like any decent adventurer would develop a system. I hear blind people will fold their paper money a certain way so they can differentiate between the different values…

                                      A clearer way to phrase it might be “there are no rules for the genre of fantasy”. An individual world needs self-contained rules, yes, but just because Tolkien’s Dwarves have beards regardless of gender doesn’t mean that your Dwarves need to be the same.

                                          Nah this one is easy.

                                          If it’s green and sparkly, it’s a good thing. If it’s green and bubbly, it’s a bad thing.
