erman speaking readers are likely to laugh

out loud at this attempt to provide GMs withthe means of quickly coming up with names forvillages and towns in the Empire and a fewnotable features of these settlements.

Roll 1d100 for the first part of the name andconsult the table below. Then roll another 1d100and look up the result in the next table. You mayhave to re-roll the second element if you feel thatit implies a geographical feature not present inthe settlement.

This table presents notable features forsettlements (geographical feature, main trade orother noteworthy characteristic). The GM can rolla number of results equal to 1d5 and modify theroll depending on the size of the settlement: -3 for

villages, -2 for small towns and -1 for towns.

These entries should be read as relative: a hamletis quite likely to boast fewer horses than a cityeven it is famous for breeding them. In the sameway, the reach of a settlements renown typicallydepends on its size.

his tool gives you the means to quickly co

up with the weather for the location the PCsare presently in. It should be noted that it is notfirmly founded in meteorology; GMs requiringmore realistic results need to look elsewhere forsatisfaction. However, these tables mainly servethree purposes:

me

1) It aids the GM in adding colour to the setting(describe the weather each morning and if itchanges during the day);

2) It can be used to add a twist to an encounteror to a whole scenario (try shooting a bow ina gale force wind or climbing a bare cliffduring heavy rain!);

3) Weather can itself be a source of plots (likeaiding villagers to save their homes from aflood or having the town struck by lightning).

Roll once on all tables at dawn. Other ways ofusing this document include: picking results,rolling only when players ask for weatherconditions or you just need inspiration.

Changing Weather: A double-digit roll (11, 22,etc.) on any table indicates changing weatherconditions (in addition to any other effect): re-rollthe result on that table after 2d10 hours.
