POTION MASTER
Hi! I'm Trevor, new DM. I have a player who is trying to create a player built around using potions as their primary action. I've found there to not be that much variety in the potions in the dungeon master guide and I haven't had much luck finding mechanics for brewing/ inventing and stockpiling potions. Anybody have any advice for making this rewarding for the player with out breaking the game?

@Briggs Schneider Wizards have to prepare spells in much the same way. I've always imagined the 'preparation' for the day is essentially the ritual done beforehand so that they could 'pull the trigger' when they need to. There's really not a way to speedily concoct potions in the middle of combat, so they will have to prepare during down time. How they roleplay that is up to them.

@Briggs Schneider Alternatively, you can find ways to trigger the potions in different ways. Darts laced with the potions, potion bombs, etc.
Best Puzzles you have made?
So I may have spoke about this before but I've made a puzzle map for my current campaign based on a maze at a Pumpkin patch, and then I took it to GenCon this year and people seemed to enjoy it. I am always looking for more puzzles to add to my games to break up the combat, so I am curious what is the best puzzle you have made in a game?

Every book this guy has put out has been fantastic.
Best Hex Crawl System
So I've realized this is a hole in my rpg experience. Willing to hear what system have hex crawl mechanics, but mostly hoping to hear games that are primarily hex crawls, or other parts are built on top of those rules, instead of the other way around.

I use a mix of Pointy Hat and the One Ring. I use the individual roles and moral system within the One Ring, but use Pointy Hat's guide to simplify the encounters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM18P0WKGFA
Free League Publishing The One Ring Starter Set
Has anyone run Free League Publishing The One Ring Starter Set? If so, what did you think? Interested in trying out The One Ring with my group but wonder if it holds up for a campaign. I would buy the corebook if we liked the game.

I'm stealing the traveling stuff from it in my campaign, but I've not played the system as a whole.
