There was some idle chatter about making interesting poisons over on the Purple OSR/RainbOSR/Gay Beholder discord server. I suggested that it might be fun to set it up as a rely, where the goal is to come up with a creative poison (or way to poison) the previous post’s NPC.

Some simple rules:

1. Link to the post of the person who tagged you, which describes the victim you are attempting to poison
2. Go back and link to the subsequent post once the person you tag writes their post about how they are poisoning your new victim
3. Write as much or as little as you need, but the idea would be to keep it relatively snappy. If you feel the need to write an elaborate set of mechanics for how to adjudicate poisons, feel free, but it is fine to also have something simple like save vs poison to not explode in a week or something, especially if the focus is on how the poison is administered.

I will keep this post updated with all of the posts, should I be made aware of them.
