[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5410212, member: 75712"] Yeah, winter is great for making things more difficult for PCs. Slippery ice and mud, blizzard blindness, falling icicles? You bet, anything to make a few hungry ogres a bigger pita for the characters is game. Outdoor wandering monsters are also seasonal. So winter is when winter wolves (obviously) come out, while most animals, plantoids & humanoids are staying in or hibernating. Also, the Zombie Threat Level drops during the winter because they're frozen solid. I've also used winter calendar events, because the conditions tend to be dark and cold, and partying is a good excuse to throw a lot of innocents in the way. That's why the orcs attack the village during Mid-Winter Feastnight: the villagers are plastered and can't see in the long night. Solstice and the deep-winter cross-quarter days are a good times for druidic rituals or religious ceremonies. And if nothing else, things like aurorae and weird ice formations make cool backdrops.
