Has anyone tried setting Doskvol in winter for their campaign? What differences, if any, have you guys implemented either fictionally or mechanically?

I generally assume the city is cold, damp and miserable all the time, so I’m not sure what difference winter would make. The sun and sky are broken, it doesn’t seem like a setting that gets Christmas episodes. 😛
Furry Hats.
Because priorities.
Man, Duskvol in Summer in miserable enough…
I don’t think you need to make any mechanical changes. Just keep the weather in mind when determining Effect and Position.
“And on that night, it’s said that Jolly old St. Scurlock comes down your chimney, leaving severed heads for all the good little girls and boys…”
Icy rooftops for some, bedwarmers for others.
It’s a lot harder to skulk the rooftops when they’re iced over, and your medium load looks less scoundrel-y when everyone is wearing scarves and four coats.
Rob Donoghue 100% there will be more hats
Alfred Rudzki That’s a good point, probably makes it easier to be less conspicuous in the crowded streets, at the least.
It’s winter now in our Ravens game and while there aren’t mechanical changes the tone and general feel is…more haunted? I dunno, it’s just cool. 😀
We have had position and effect affected by things like the cold and snow, but that’s it.
For our very first session I described the hissing flare of snow sluicing into the lightning walls overhead as they scuttled towards their target. =)
Andrew Shields I’m not gonna lie I totally stole this line for the heist today 😛
We hit a group of armoured transports carrying military munitions being delivered to the crows and the crew had a great time throwing bluecoats into the snow, skidding across the ice and flashing back to when they filled the sidestreets with snow to block their escape.
Well shit, I may have to try this. This sounds cool as hell.

I made Ben Morgan promise me that we’ll do a Christmas episode, and we may not even have complete tonal disconnect.
Rebecca W I recommend thinking of some horrible, horrible food and making that the gleeful center of the feast. Like, a gel basket of jellyfish stuffed with pickled mouse eyes or something; it’s weird, but it’s a holiday food! It triggers all the nostalgia for the rogues.
The Crew That Stole St. Proudmoor’s Day! Constance stole the entire St. Proudmoor’s Day Feast! She stole everything, even the Roast Feets!
