![]() ![]() ![]() Shadow of the Erdtree is an upcoming DLC for Elden Ring. The original release date of January 21st was announced during the Summer Game Fest 2021, and the delay was revealed via Twitter on October 18th 2021 I think most of you if you stop and think about it, you can extrapolate all the various ways you as a GM can have weather affect an adventuring party for good or bad.Elden Ring was released for all platforms on February 25th of 2022. You can't disregard wind speed and direction when calculating weather. Ask someone in Chicago how the wind impacts the weather there or those from up in Canada. Wind should always be a factor on any weather charts, it impacts so many different things from humidity, heat, cold, air quality etc. I've had similar experiences out in the Mojave Desert as well. A gust of wind took me from the 4th lane (the fast lane) over to the far right slow lane. I once had the scary ass experience of being on the Autobahn doing around 140 mph on my sports bike and came out between an opening in the mountains and onto a bridge that gapped it. Or if it's dry and someone starts a fire, or it's wet and your trying to start a fire. Whether out in the sandy terrain where higher winds will drive the sand into your face or up on a mountain ridge where wind gusts can knock you right off the ridge. Wind "almost" always matters in some way. ![]() Is it close enough that the players will never possibly notice? Absolutely. Is it a little more random than real life? Yes. It seems like a lot more effort than it was, since I simply plugged in formulas, and then copied the list of random numbers into the correct column, which then auto-generated the daily temperatures. But since I’ve got that spreadsheet, I know the weather for any given day in the campaign. Sometimes I ended with a week where it rained every day, and some weeks there was a pretty good distribution, just like real life.įor wind speed, I did the same thing I did for temperature.īecause I’m running D&D 5E, I only really need to concern myself with particularly high and low temps, blizzards, and extreme wind speeds. Then I randomly assigned the precipitation days to each month. For temperature, the formula was 1=average temp -8, 2=average temp -6, 3=average temp -4, 4=average temp -2, 5-6= average temp, 7=average temp +2, 8=average temp +4, 9=average temp +6, and 10=average temp +8.įor precipitation, I generated one number that indicated if the precipitation that month was going to the average number, some amount below the average or some amount above the average. Then, I went to and generated 3 columns of random numbers from 1-10. I set an average temperature for each week in one column, an average number of days of precipitation for each month, and an average wind speed for each week. So what I did was set up an Excel spreadsheet with one row for each day of the year. There’s more of that stuff than most people realize. Or the week that there was a blizzard followed by four days of above-freezing temps with a ton of rain that wiped out all the snow. Like a week where every second day the temperature was well below the seasonal average, and the alternate days were well above the seasonal average. And, to be honest, there were a LOT of times that the weather seemed pretty freaking random. However, one thing I did was look up the weather in the Toronto are for two years, noting down temperature, precipitation, and wind speed. I’ve played around with a lot of weather generation systems over the years, and it’s hard to find one that works well. ![]()
