Rampant Games - RPG Design & Potions

The Rampant Coyote talks about the positive side of potions in RPG games in his latest blog post. So do you guys agree with him, or hate  potions in games?

Well, I’m gonna answer both him and my younger self. At least in part. Actually, I’m gonna write three answers as to why consumable / expendable items are a Good Thing in RPG Design.

Read his blog post for the three reasons.
