MONSTER TWEAKS // Don't just run each Ogre the PCs encounter as if it's straight out of the factory - give them a personality or quick trait to keep the combat fresh and increase the verisimilitude of your games!

Let's remember, folks. This year's massive winter storm isn't 'snowmageddon' or 'icepocalypse' that's boring. We've done it. This year it's The Fell Winter of '25. That's the sort of thing about which folk might one day make poetry... #FellWinter
