That's pretty much exactly how I've been figuring it (except worded far more suck in my original post.)...

Thanks! It's something I didn't used to think about until a mix of listening to game craft podcasts and having a game that is heavily centered around a guild caravan, so crawling across creation in ways climate and weather changes are more gradual but also more relevant....

Yeah, the map helps, but especially in this edition it's more, I dunno, thematic than literal, and it also doesn't address things like seasons and such (icehome has proper summers if memory serves, but is solid white on the map. Rubylak is right across from where the white really begins, but isn't described as being overly cold.)

Of course, you do have specific areas that futz with things (like Iscomay and its Oma Valley) but I'm looking for broader than cities/countries but more specific than region/pole.

Though Thorns isn't as far south as I was thinking it was (it's...

I'm perfectly comfortable with the broad strokes of the poles and such, where I trip up is more on the local scale. Take The scavenger lands, for example. Both Nexus and Thorns are in the same "region", so do they have the same general climate? Or is it more like comparing Minnesota to Texas?

Alternatively, where exactly does "typically temperate but with longer, really nasty winters" end and "vast expanses of frozen tundra" begin when going north?...

Something I've always kinda had a difficulty with is figuring out what exactly the climate of each region is like in Creation, so I was wondering if anyone out there has made something like a climate map, or has some solid guidelines.

My kinda gut reaction is the southern border regions being roughly equivalent to the equator and the northern border being polar, but that still leaves a lot of room to figure it temperate, subtropical, etc areas

None of my most recent characters have been, but I shamelessly steal from media for NPCs all the time.

I also find it a very useful tool for helping people make their daunting first steps into Exalted.

Backers of the original EX3 kickstarter got their early pdfs a good month or so back, so probably a decent number of people have at least started it, if not finished it....

It'll be coming in Many Faced Strangers. After additional content ended up making the 3E core take even longer, they started doing stretch goal content as side books so the main text isn't held up.

As for the time frame on the wait to get it? No idea. We'll have a better idea once we know how much longer Heirs to the Shogunate takes once WFHW drops officially....

The release of three new dinosaurs in Lunars is very exciting (particularly excited for an old favorite, the dinosaur tank) but it only wets my appetite.

Any chance we'll see more, possibly some of the weirder ones, in Hundred Devils?

I wish I didn't have a spendy convention in two weeks, I'd add a map now rather than via backerkit. I really want to see Thousand Blades, but cant afford the extra $80 right now.
