Weather is an important element in roleplaying games. It can serve as “atmosphere,” providing the sensory experience of delicate snowfall or the bombastic background of a thunderstorm. But it can also be an important plot element—as it was for Bilbo and the dwarves outside Goblintown or for the Fellowship on Caradhras. And don’t forget that Spanish armada!
Weather Manager provides a system and tables for generating earth-like weather for a fantasy or science fiction world. There are 30 pages of background on weather systems and climate, written with world-builders and game referees in mind. The remainder is dozens of tables for generating day-to-day weather in any earthlike climate zone. Weather events are resolved with a limited number of die-rolls and are systematically connected to previous and following weather events, creating somewhat more realistic periods of stability followed by sudden change.
