Not saying I did not enjoy the Military. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Just saying that I have put in my time in the wilds. I like Civilization, thank you very much.

Please, there's sexual deviance everywhere you go. It's just exposed more in some areas than others, and a few folks are more honest about it.

My husband is English and was in the British army before coming to America. He is a re-enactor now and has to admuit that the hot weather is too much for him. Though I do not think most runners would wear a wool frock coat and bear skin hat.
"My northern european blood" he is fond of saying, keeps him from really doing much in the summer but in winter he is unstoppable. Or is he just trying to avoid restaining our porch? |

I'm from the Northern Ontario Mountains (A valley to be exact), and moved to Winnipeg. We've had a record breaker here for heat, and a light t-shirt was too much for me. And it's not as hot as things are going for other folks in the US.
... I think. Stupid ancient measuring system still confuses me and makes me go, "Why the hell isn't water boiling at that temperature!" |

The whole "northern European blood" thing is fairly accurate. I'm the same way if it's cold out I'm great get me in temperatures much above 70 and I'm done. It's been triple digits here the last couple of weeks. /sad dropbear
I could have sworn all armor had climate control, is it in the basic description maybe? |

Complain about heat when you come to Recife (Hellcife as we call it sometimes) where the lowest temperature of the year is 22ºC at night in July and the highest can go as much as 35ºC ALL DAY during summer

That really sucks. For reference: Kuwait, sometime between August and March. |

It doesn't even need a full day-night shift. At 4000+ meters altitude, just walk into the shade and back out. |

On the flip side to the equation, I have a Swiss Army Mountain Greatcoat (The same type that some bullets bounce off of) that I've worn only a few times here. Every other time, it'd be like walking around in an oven, even when it's well below freezing outside.

If you're feeling mischievous as a GM, you can have a spell of freak weather, too. (I just got back from a weeklong holiday in Glasgow. The weather was sunny all week long; everyone was confused about it. I'd brought lots of bad-weather clothing of course...)
