Whoah, I love the stories - and I’m having some chills reading them, super cool! 😄 Thank you for sharing!! Glimpses of an incredible world - exactly how the system worked for me - I’m super happy it also worked for you ☺️
EDIT: Ah; also, if you like gathering and mixing ingredients, and are interested in various Solo RPGs - I never played those, but I would suspect “Apothecaria” and “Koriko, the magical year” might possibly have some stuff like that. Also, otherwise, if you’re out on a hunt in general, my personal top by a mile favorite TTRPG for the time being is “Ironsworn: Starforged”… if looking for a more cosy and social variant, I heard people say good words about “Iron Valley”…
