I think you’re grossly underestimating the human race’s ability to survive. If you read accounts of the famines in China and what people survived on, tenaciously for a lot longer than 3-6 months then I think you would be less dogmatic about this.The OPs description is completely out of context. Very selective quoting. “Just another gruesome day” is followed by “howling wind, bitter cold and foul temper” which is anything but normal. ”Taverns are abuzz”... with talk of townsfolk being murdered. This is never described as some pastoral normal start to a campaign.You say it’s impossible to look past the two years of winter. I say the whole Game of Thrones premise is that winter can last a lot longer than that... and indeed it has. If you are in a camp that says Game of Thrones as a premise is impossible to look past then I suspect you aren’t part of the mass market target audience WOC looks for. Perhaps your tastes run a bit niche? There’s nothing wrong with that, except where you expect mass market publications to cater to you tastes.</blockquote>
