Big glowy green area? Could be a healing aura, could be poison. Good luck!

Bright red barrel of aircraft grade fuel.

Shoot it.

Spawns a leak.

//FPS players mind's implode//

How about Oblivion where every potion, including drugs, are red?

I color code all my info. (..) Green means go, so I know to go ahead and shut up about it. Orange, means orange you glad you didn’t bring it up. Most colors mean don’t say it.

"There are no 'rules' for fantasy"

Wrong. To write good Fantasy (of SciFi), you have to go through a process called "World Building" where you lay down the rules of your world. Properly done, the amount of World Building exceeds the actual works by far. It is absolutely necessary to create a core of inner logic to the story. You are not bound by the rules of our world, yes, but you are bound by the rule of consistency. If you violate those, you automatically write crap Fantasy (or SciFi).

Funny, though, that e.g. many literature teachers / professors don't even know about the idea of World Building.

Electric element. Team Yellow vs Team Blue, FIGHT!

Nethack (and derivatives) is pretty much the only game I know of where the health potions may or may not be red.

And I guess Dark Souls... It's more of an orange than a red. But maybe that's just the color of the flask. Idk what the substance inside looks like. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why should your fantasy game be limited by something like "health". Whether you die should be based on vibes.

Overlord the anime has a whole arc about the protagonist using his immense power and influence to have people start research on how to turn blue potions red.

Similarly to how paprika chips come in blue bags and salted chips come in red bags. Anything else is heresy. Unless you live right across the border, where it's exactly the opposite.

My health potions are red, also, pulp free is not an option. >:)

Reminds me of that overwatch character with the yellow healing aura and the green speed aura. Just why?

It's true.

Rules are meant to be broken - apart from when they aren't.

You can change any aspect of the world any way you like, but only if doing that is critical to your universe and story.

Messing up without reason conventions that are well established is a dick move, unless the whole point of your work is to screw with people.

I hate dragons. Controversial take but like just come up with some other mystical creatures! have some fun with it! if rather interact with a pink unicorn plushie than fight another dragon
