Weather
Weather affects any character's actions in the game. First roll a d6 to determine the season the game starts in:
d6 | Season |
---|---|
1 | Winter |
2 | Spring |
3 | Summer |
4 | Fall |
5-6 | Re-roll |
Then refer to the weather table for the temperature.
Month | Season | Temperature |
---|---|---|
1 | Winter | Chill |
2 | Winter | Chill |
3 | Spring | Cool |
4 | Spring | Cool |
5 | Spring | Warm |
6 | Summer | Warm |
7 | Summer | Hot |
8 | Summer | Hot |
9 | Fall | Brisk |
10 | Fall | Brisk |
11 | Fall | Cold |
12 | Winter | Cold |
Then, every day (every six watches), roll a d6. There's a 4/6 chance that the weather will be same as yesterday. If you roll a 5 or 6, roll for the new temperature and event.
d6 | Temperature | Event | Intensity |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Cold | Snowy/Rainy* | Light |
2 | Brisk | Rainy | Moderate |
3 | Chill | Foggy | Moderate |
4 | Cool | Dewy | Moderate |
5 | Warm | Windy | Moderate |
6 | Hot | Clear | Heavy |
*snowy only in cold months.
