Herbalism and Potion-Making in Dungeons and Dragons

One of my players, a cleric, insists on being able to pick flowers and herbs along their journey to use in a recipe to make healing potions. The DM Guide is pretty clear that making healing potions costs 25 GP and 8 hours per day, a minimum of two days depending on the rarity of the healing potion (DMG ch6), but it doesn't go into the specifics of what this gold is supposed to be spent on. I run a game that is mildly homebrew (in that it's my own story with a few of my own non-official elements) but is careful to follow as close to the official rules as possible. I also like to craft stories that are similar enough to reality that they can somehow make sense even if they're magical. So I looked into how people in Days of Yore™ healed their wounds and learned all about poultices.

You Need a Social Media Agency

One thing I've noticed over the past few months is that a lot of people are looking for an in-house social media manager instead of an outside agency or freelancer. I'm not sure if an agency is just something they don't think of, or if they honestly think an in-house employee is a better option. I mean, it makes a kind of sense. If you hire someone from the inside, you expect that person to have a greater knowledge of and loyalty to your brand. Because they're a part of the tribe; they're on your direct payroll; you have direct influence over their work. Right? Well, that's not as much of an advantage as you might think.

Why Slow and Steady Wins the Race in Social Media

A lot of the times, new business pop up and their owners are so excited about this new venture that they think they need to see quick growth on social media. This mindset may lead them to make some rash decisions such as buying followers or spending too much on ads. And it may look impressive to investors to have gained over 1,000 followers in under a month, but savvy investors know there's more to it than that. And the day-to-day consumer probably won't even pay attention.
