Herbalist Fantasy Foraging and Prep Chart (d8)
A Herbalist plant foraging and ingredient craft generator for Fantasy RPGs.
This works best in low to medium magic settings.
Note: The Region should also be considered for context: Arctic, Temperate, Desert, Sub-tropic, Tropic, other.
Seasons can be divided into a simple sowing/growing season and a harvest/dying season.
Sub-tropic and Tropic only have a growing season (no dying season).
Often the region and season will define themselves through the story narrative and don't need their own table.
A random result will be collated from each column
