Actually, you don't.
In the Tir Na nOg sourcebook, there is some basic guidelines. I actually
talked to Tom Dowd on this one once way back when (say 4 years ago), and his
suggestion was that the average storm probably doesn't effect the background
count for more than 3 points, give or take. The rating of the storm (a
number from 1-?) is also the duration that storm -might- last in hours,
though most are over fairly quickly. It's effects would primarily exist in
the astral, effecting said beings (ever heard of Etheric Drift? It is a
nasty concept) but not effecting the -mundane- world very much.
On the flipside, people might have strange levels of personal experiences at
this time period. Extremely vivid dreams, "out of body experiences", and
massive hallucinations (similar to the Illusion and/or Glamour powers). The
Outback and Tir(land) have the most violent and/or recorded instance of such
storms. But they occur everywhere and potentially at any time.
Ever wondered how a "quick bridge" from the Darkside (read as "ED")
could
happen allowing for the random chance? Here it is.
