Hi,

Will there be a weather generator in RW?

Thanks

Pat

Weather generation is not planned for the first release. That's a feature that will be of value to a subset of GMs, and our initial focus is on features that virtually every GM will want to leverage. Once we get those features into place, we'll then look at more specialized features like weather generation.

Consider this my vote.

Likewise.

Ditto. Or even a general random table generator, akin to Inspiration Pad Pro by NBOS, would be greatly appreciated!

Guys, just go to weather underground(check google. I don't have the link) and grab the last years real weather for an area that matches the geography of the area of your campaign. Simple and you get realistic weather patterns.

While that's an option, one of the points of RW is to make as many GM tasks as possible as efficient as possible by pulling them into one program.

True, and while a random weather generator is cool. I prefer the find a real place and use it's weather. Since that way you don't get lows in the 50s one day and highers in the 90s the next with no connection between them.

But yeah, wouldn't be a bad thing.

You've never lived in the Deep South. That is our typical weather.

Hehe... I lived in Texas for 18 years and never had that happen.

Hmmm... although, I guess you are right. If you got a nice storm coming in with the rain and the cloud cover you could drop the temperature by a significant degree.

Rain was sometimes the best thing to ever happen in Texas and sometimes just made it disgustingly muggy.

Houston was miserable for humidity.
