Determining the Starting Region’s Climate and Terrain Type

To create a standard Western Europe-style fantasy world, simply declare the starting Region’s Climate either Temperate or Coastal – your choice!  Then roll on the table on the bottom of this page, to determine the specific Terrain type.

If this is your first time using the World Creator, then I recommend doing the above.

Alternatively, if you want to risk creating a more whacky world, roll 3d6 to determine the Climate.  (Need a die roller?)

3-5	Polar
6-8	Alpine
9-10	Temperate
11-12	Coastal
13-14	Humid
15-17	Arid
18	Oceanic

Now roll 1d6 (need a die roller?) and refer to the appropriate column to determine the terrain type:

	Temperate	Alpine	Polar	Coastal	Humid	Arid
1	Plains	Mountains	Arctic	Beach	Jungle	Desert
2	Plains	Mountains	Arctic	Beach	Jungle	Desert
3	Hills	River	Arctic	Forest	Swamp	Plains
4	Forest	Lake	Arctic	Hills	Swamp	Hills
5	River	Forest	Mountains	River	River	Mountains
6	Lake	Arctic	Mountains	Swamp	Lake	River
