Text: If you raise a mandrake half human, you get something completely different. We pull them up from the ground before they have mouths, placing them in incubators and cooing at them gently.

While I am certainly happy for my friend who plays Drukhari, I am not sure if I can take these guys seriously. BEHOLD: the Dark City's elite warriors of the "I can't see shit"-clan.
Seriously do they not have barbershops in the webway?

Mandrake Sanctuary
It doesn't get a ton of page traffic, and I think people here might enjoy it, so I wanted to talk about Mandrake Sanctuary.
Mandrake Sanctuary is a journaling ttrpg that you play by collecting and growing little plant creatures.
The plant creatures you grow are all based on real world plants, such as the rose, lotus, or prickly pear, and they start out as seedlings but then grow according to the soil mixture you put them in.
Different soil mixtures have different activation requirements, and these can be anything from 'activates when you go to school or work' to 'activates when you exercise' to 'activates when you take time to rest.' When a soil activates, the mandrake in it grows a little bit, and you draw these changes.
To put it differently, with Mandrake Sanctuary, you pick habits in yourself that you want to cultivate, and you pick adorable plant gremlins that you want to raise too. Your mandrakes grow when you work on your habits in the real world, and over time you can release them, swap out the soil mixtures, and adopt new mandrakes.
It's slow-paced, cozy, and gentle, and the book supports journaling as well as drawing if you're more comfortable with words than art (or vice versa.)
Mandrake Sanctuary has been out for a while, but it got a big update patch a few months ago basically doubling its size and adding more art and more player resources.
If you check it out, I'd love to hear about the kinds of mandrakes you raise.
