Alternative Weather Chart

I love the Weather System in the 7th Sea RPG. Here's a somewhat simpler (and kinda house-ruled) version of the chart for it, one that takes up less space behind your GM screen. To use it, you need two glass beads or drama dice. The chart ain't pretty, but it's clear and functional.

Prior to the GM spending Drama Dice, assume the bead/die in the bottom row starts at "Typical". The top row bead/die starts at "Chill" in winter, "Comfortable" in spring/fall, and "warm" in summer. In all other ways, it functions by the normal weather chart rules. When the GM spends a Drama Die he can move either bead to an adjacent space - the two rows are not considered adjacent to each other.
