Why can't they just include a paragraph, or a break-out box, or a column, or even a footnote about how magic is used? I know for some GMs (and me too, actually) love coming up with their own reasonings, but that doesn't excuse WotC here. For a 50 dollar hardback adventure, they should, at the MINIMUM, give a roll table with ways the tentowners have survived so far.1. Sacrifices to Auril have made it so that the light of her aurora keeps the plants alive.2. The druids work hard to make sure the animals survive the winter with all means of primal magic.3. The dwarves send regular supplies to the Ten Towns to ensure they don't collapse, in exchange for some kind of service.4. Magical underdark heat vents are underneath the towns, providing them with enough heat to survive.5. The few scattered spellcasters are forced to spend all of their arcane or divine might sustaining their local populations.6. Sunlight is stored in magical items every year, and the abundance of sunlight stored over hundreds of years now sustains Icewind Dale.That's it. That's all I'd ask for. For an adventure costing $50 in the store, yes, I want the option to have some kind of logic to it. I know a lot of people in this thread are apparently very against logic, and think that anyone that asks for it are overly willful and being stubborn, but no, we're not - we just want our money to actually buy a good adventure, and more importantly, we WANT WotC to put out good adventures. I want WotC to be the BEST it can be, and I strongly believe that until they start handling their books with a little bit more gravitas, they won't be able to achieve their true potential.Is it wrong of me to want them to be better? Is wanting improvement an erroneous thought? Why is it that on this forum, when people want something improved, a whole army of people manifest from the darkness to tell us how FOOLISH we are for wanting such a thing?</blockquote>
