Message: <blockquote data-quote=".5 Elf" data-source="post: 5758501" data-attributes="member: 90290">I am in the TAG camp (The Auld Grump).I am a graduate of the Mountain Leaders course and Cold Weather Survival courses. I have also run the gamut of other extreme environments anything from arctic circle in Norway to Deserts and plenty of Jungle and Swamp in between. Got a chance to do a special Mountaineering course hosted by our buddies in Slovenia so got to play in the Julian Alps too.Those days are behind me but the lessons imparted remain  - I know weather is no joke.In previous games my players learned to have a healthy appreciation for the weather. This time around I will be starting out with complete strangers so it will be interesting to see how long it takes or if it takes time at all for them to respect the environment.I never had occasion to kill PCs with weather yet but I certainly would if the situation called for it.As for systems - 1st Wilderness Survival Guide works fine for me so chalk up another vote there. I am a "Springtime Start" kinda guy too when I start campaigns. It just fits with my sense of when it makes sense logistically to have conflicts / start adventures I guess. I do love it when I get a chance to explore harsh environments / seasonal effects in my games tho.Lots of good tips & suggestions for stuff to check out in this thread tho! As always EN World doesn't disappoint.</blockquote>
