Filius Philosophorum is a solo journaling roleplaying game in which you track the career of an Alchemist as they work to achieve nigh-impossible feats of their craft. Investigate your reagents, perform potentially explosive reactions, and sell your wares on the black market, all as a means to eventually perform a Forbidden Alchemy.

All you need to play is a a journal, a writing utensil, 15 blank index cards, and a 6-sided die. Keep in mind that  Forbidden Alchemy is Forbidden for a reason, so do not expect to achieve it on your first or second attempt.

There is no answer key- If you are confident in a ritual, then it will work.
