      So, what is edible glitter made out of? According to the FDA: "Common ingredients in edible glitter or dust include sugar, acacia (gum arabic), maltodextrin, cornstarch, and color additives specifically approved for food use, including mica-based pearlescent pigments." I think the part you're curious about is the mica-based pearlescent stuff.
      However, mica is not generally safe to eat. The only reason the FDA allows it in this case is because you're going to get a very tiny amount of it. Additionally, there's a vague warning from the FDA to only use edible glitter that states it is "edible". The part that they leave out, though, is that you really want to avoid the ones that just say "non-toxic" because those are probably just straight up plastic that is large enough to pass through your body unabsorbed, which means it qualifies as not being toxic.

    24:13 At my table our DM used to make us chug a drink in real life whenever we wanted to drink a potion in game. The better the chug, the more healing we got. They had managed to find a case of Tang from somewhere and none of us liked it so naturally that was what we had to chug in order to get the healing

    • @azraelf.6287
      @azraelf.6287 3 месяца назад +9

      IMO, your real-life chug shouldn't affect the game. Potion of healing as an action should give 10hp; as a bonus action, 2d4+2.
      But, I have heard of DMs who use the rule 'your character takes a potion, you take a shot'. The idea being that potions are unnatural, and repeated use will affect you. This assumes all players have a safe way home.

    If you're doing agar filtration, I find the more effective method is, after you've hydrated the agar on the stove, to actually put it in the freezer until it's a solid block, then put it in a cloth-lined strainer in the fridge. The water and flavourings will melt way before the agar and solids do.

    You mis-described the Potion of Fire Breath. A Potion of Fire Breath gives the drinker the ability to breath fire, as in expelling a blast of fire, like a dragon's breath, not being able to breathe while consumed in fire.
    The potion lasts for an hour and gives the drinker three charges to breathe out a blast of fire to a single target within a 30ft range. The target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 4D6 fire damage, or takes half that damage on a successful save.

    Other than that, awesome episode. I love how you tried to make them on-brand with not just the color, but the flavors and oddities too, like the drop of milk; that was brilliant, or the "hold my beer" liquid courage angle.
    Also loved the 'medicinal' angle with them maybe not necessarily needing to be yummy, like the inclusion of salt in the last one.

    I’m sending this vid to my dnd buddies, they’ll be so happy to see that you’ve essentially kinda become canon to dnd lore. Gonna ask the dm if we could possibly add a Greg’s Grog’s to our campaign as well (and maybe try to replicate the potions as well 😉).

      There are several awesome Grog related roll tables that are fun for spicing up a campaign. It was optional to participate, but every character that did it got weird flavor to their play. I had a jewel encrusted grille and a penchant for shiny things.

    In my DnD campaigns, healing potions taste like cola. The spices used irl to make cola don't exist in the world because it's based on Vikings, but still healing potions taste like cola because it's one of my favorite flavors.

    Greg reminds me of that.

    Love your d&d stuff! Tavern Punch is a standard at my tabletop. An interesting note, the dungeon masters guide describes most potions as being only one ounce of liquid so a potion is basically a shooter. I suppose it makes sense if your supposed to ingest what is essentially liquid magic in less than 3-6 seconds.
    I think I'd prefer a cocktail 🍹

    I am a big fan of Aquivit, with Linie or O.P Anderson being favourites. There is a very simple and pleasent cocktail which mellows out some of it's stronger more overpowering flavours called a Fjelbeck.
    Shot each of Vodka and Aquivit, fresh lime juice and top with Sprite. Good long drink in the summer served over ice.
    Also if you want a crazy idea for drinks look up a series called Danger 5, each episode came with a truly crazy cocktail!

    Greg, I'd love to see you do a full episode on different super juices. In addition to Nickle Morris, I know Kevin Kos has a recipe that got very popular as well. I personally didn't like that one at all and have instead been using a recipe from Brian Tasch of Corpse Revived, as I think he makes a good argument for taking out the citrus juice entirely to avoid any possible oxidation. Would love to hear your take on different recipes, their merit over regular citrus, and perhaps a blind taste-test with the new setup. Cheers!

    The telaphone brand of AgarAgar is pretty good, i think it´s the amount of acid. I make kahokuto crystal candies which also use agar agar and you need to bloom and activate the agar agar before you add any acidic elements to it. So you´ll take your agar agar put it with room temperature filtered water and let it sit for five minutes, you then heat the water and add your sugar and then your acidic mixture at the very end, i find this is the only way to get agar agar to set with acidic soloutions

    As someone who started playing in the 80's with the original "Advanced" edition, I'm really pleased that they managed to standardize the descriptions for easy identification (as opposed to the method of taking a sip and getting a feeling). Of course, in that edition, if you were to try multiple potions at once there was the Potion Miscibility Table and ... explosion, lethal, poisonous, or one of them becomes permanent. Proving, once again, that First Edition DM's had the most fun. 😈😈

    • @derekstein6193

      @@derekstein6193 that's cool. A lot of AD&D things were dropped with the later editions. (Some things should have been dropped but never were, for example, the relatively low level of bonuses for weapons was a legacy from OD&D where d6's were used in combat, not d20's.) Sometimes a much later edition would bring them back, somewhat.

    This reminds me of an episode where you did potions for a video game. I vaguely remember something along the lines of "demon's ichor" and got me thinking about what might be in it. I don't drink alcohol, so my thoughts were all centered around spices such as clove and fennel/anise among others. Not being one for mixing drinks, I never tried to put it together, but I was always curious what a non-alcoholic, hot spiced drink would taste like. I think you should make one. :)
