Tips, Tricks, & Resources for T2k Refs

[Raellus]

Good stuff, Teg & Chalk!

I like to track moon phases for T2k so that I can give my players realistic info re natural lighting at night.

But what if it's cloudy, you ask? There are also historical weather sites.

AFAIK, this particular site provides historical weather data for Poland, but there's one for the USA as well (and probably other countries).

If you don't want historical weather, I like this one for random weather:

If you're using Foundry, there's a module that can generate time/date as well as moon cycles and weather for you, it's great and saves almost 100% of the effort, I just check them whenever.

In previous versions it even tied into graphical weather effects, so it would automatically generate rain, cloud, or fog effects along with time of day. At the moment that feature has been broken by updates but hopefully coming back soon, it was very cool.

I have/had a Dragon Magazine issue from 1992 about generating weather charts for RPG's, I hope I still have it somewhere

Weather is the ultimate mood setter. My campaigns are notorious for incessant rain.

It's also extremely tactically useful for your typical small team raid behind enemy lines!

I use Harnmaster's weather generation system (and watch sheets).

I'll have to give that a try. For the longest time, I've been using Weather master (with a hack to get it to run since it's long out of publication so I couldn't transfer the license to my new computer) and it works great.
