There's no way I'd pay $20 for it; maybe $5-10.Why? It's not exactly user friendly. First off, you can't minimize it - what a pain. Second, it assumes you know about latitude and longitude right off the bat and if you don't, oh well - too bad cuz it's required on page 1. Basically, it's good for creating weather on Earth. But for any type of fantasy world it breaks down. I don't know how to configure lat and long for existing fantasy worlds and it's not something those worlds have even addressed so using the existing lat/long often creates inappropriate weather.Overall, it looks slick but not good enough for me. I'd rather stick with the DMG and roll on tables. For what it's worth, DM Genie had a really good weather generator BUT the results can't be printed out, which is a pain in the butt.There used to be a weather generator using the old 1E Dungeoneer's Survival Guide that I found really, really good (and simple!). Unfortuneately the link died but it was on SDZC.net. Anyone know if it still exists? It had "Weather for (Month)" across the top of the printout and then a table beneath with Day, Low, High, Precip, Wind, and Special Weather. It also gave the low and the high for the month. It was incredibly useful and I wish the link was still functioning...edit: DOH! The link is working again. Thanks for the help everyone!!</blockquote>
