Okay, let it rip. As for flaming me, you're wasting your time. Gotta program made that auto-matically deletes anything derogatory that isn't going to be constructive.

I'd like to see some more work done on these. Some will have a problem with the way the charts work on a probablistic stance, all I know is that it works for me. If you don't like it change it and let me know what changes you made. I use the encounter charts from C&T 1/2/3 to fill in the "types". Sorry if you expected more but I said they were pretty simple.

Ummm.. The descriptions of the storms can be found in RMCIV. For those of you who don't have it and don't want to waste the money on it, ask the others on this list to send you the descriptions. I know of at least 10 others on this list who have access to RMCIV.
