Weather Cards

Bring dynamic weather to your campaign with this deck of 40 weather cards. Each weather condition features both positive effects and complications that can alter the party's journey and force unexpected choices. Some weather effects challenge the entire party (navigating through dense fog, enduring a heatwave, bracing against fierce winds). Others create individual moments, like catching hypothermia.
