Making Value Of Your Education

If you haven't seen it, you should have a look at this brilliant post about creating weather for your world.  It also supports an argument I've made before - we have university educations, people.  Let's use them.

  1. It is a pretty nice concise summary of weather. I also talk about this in Part I of building a Fantasy Sandbox.

    I include some info on the monsoon effect which effect bodies of water that run largely north south.
