[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9214106, member: 2209"] I think I've seen a D&D rule for specifically determining that. Yep found it, :) 1e Oriental Adventures had a system for determining some events like that in a year. Page 107: [ATTACH type="full"]338036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]338040[/ATTACH] The 1e Greyhawk boxed set has charts for determining the weather. I never used them but that seems fairly simulation oriented as a system element. Dark Sun can be a bit tough to run in various editions because psionics development varies so much across editions and is such a big distinguishing feature of the 2e setting. 2e, 3e, and 4e had psionic classes and powers and are fairly easy. 1e PH has psionic powers but not really a psion class, you could import the 2e class and wild powers fairly easily though. 5e has a couple psionic subclasses, probably some feats somewhere that I am not thinking of but would take some thinking on how the psionics will work. Oe probably had a Dragon or Strategic Review article? I don't think it was in any version of Basic. You can make it work, but there is a bit of work that varies by edition to get there. I would feel comfortable running Greyhawk or FR in any edition straight through. [/QUOTE]
