 Well I based my old system actually on part of the GW system.  But it was too
futureistic
with radiation and all that stuff.  Not real well for a fantasy system.  I
mainly wanted a base
system (equipment not pertaining).  Thus, the basic exposures would be Tundra
(Cold),
Jungle (Disease), Desert (Heat), Water (Normal exposure (food, water, sun)). 
They
would be the primary sources then everything else would be secondary.
Exposure
in
forest would be slight cold depending on the time of year but nothing death
level in most
cases.  I guess I'll just sit down and figure it out.


 But guys!  I posted that (well the thing as an excuse to remain on topic) to
get opinions
on the new D&D movie and no one commented on it :)  Surprising.
