I made an Excel calendar generator for Golarion that works for any year from 1 A.R. with moon phases, leap days and the holidays in Campaign Setting all marked in. My version differs from Lilith's in 2 major ways:

1) It synchs with the date mentioned in Second Darkness, in that 14 Arodus 4708 IS Oathday.

2) I marked the solstices and equinoxes closer to our real calendar, on the 20/21/22 of the first month of the season, as I think that's what the Pathfinder authors have in mind when they mention things like "first day of autumn" in the AP's. Because the Campaign Setting delineates the seasons clearly by month, I've kept Lilith's method of marking the start of a season on the first day of the relevant month.

You can download it here.

There's a moon font included in the zip. You need to install that to see the moon phases correctly. To generate the calendar for a particular year, just type the year number into the yellow box on the first page.

This being Excel, the calendar isn't as pretty as the one that Lilith and Fray made, but it does work for any year into the future. If anyone with more artistic talent wants to take it and make pretty swimsuit calendars out of the output, be my guest.

Enjoy!

This is great stuff how do i download the moon phases?

The moon font is included in the zip file. Just extract it and right click to "install" the font into the Windows font directory.

Since uploading that, I fixed the fonts in a few places for consistency and better readability, and added Korvosan holidays (except the King's Birthday, because you know why). The new version is here.

Great Stuff Thanks this is just what im looking for.

<Answers to a ghost question deleted.>

Glad you find it useful. Now to hope more people, especially those in power, use it so we can fix on one official calendar and avoid all future date inconsistencies. ;)

Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

I tried the link and was told File not Found ... any other place to find it?

Sorry for the confusion, Gamer Girl. After uploading the new version, I removed the old file from the site. The link in my second post, for the version with Korvosan holidays, does work.

Now I've restored the original link to point to the new version as well. Either link will get the same file now.

Hope you like it.

Edit:
No, for some reason, the old file is still restored when I try to re-upload the new file under the old name. Oh well, you'll need to use the link in my second post. Sorry.

thanks for the calendar! I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

Ryn, who barely notices the passing of days...

The calender is great, but there's something I've been having a little trouble with. I've searched the campaign setting, and nowhere does it say how many days there are in a year (or how many days in a month for that matter). I see you have assigned 30 days to each month. That works out to 360 days (361 if it's a leap year). The description of the year also states that there are seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. If this is 52 full weeks a year, then there are 364 days a year and some months must have 31 days. I know this is a really minor detail to most people, but I've been trying to figure it out for a while now and I don't know if there's a place these extra days are supposed to go or if we're left to fill them in wherever we feel like putting them right now. Any suggestions?

Curse of the Crimson Throne Player's Guide states on page 7 that:

The people of Golarion measure time much like we do as well, with seven days to a week and twelve 30-day months to a year.

I'm not sure why it was left out of the Campaign Setting, but until a later publication contradicts the above, it seems pretty fixed that we have 360 days, not full 52 weeks, to a year.

That makes sense. I suppose saying 52 weeks a year is easier than saying "51 weeks and three days a year."

Very nice work indeed on the calendar.

Great work. Thanks you.

The file's gone! Can you repost it or email it to me at this screenname at pathfinderwiki.com?

Only the old version is gone. The updated version with Korvosan holidays is still there.

1) It synchs with the date mentioned in Second Darkness, in that 14 Arodus 4708 IS Oathday.

Moonday = work, religion (night)
Toilday = work
Wealday = work
Oathday = work, pacts signed, oaths sworn
Fireday = work, market day
Starday = work
Sunday = rest, religion

and go with probably the analog they intended (i.e., Moonday = Monday, Toilday = Tuesday, etc.), Sunday would start the week in our Earthly calendar, which would make Oathday a "Thursday" rather than a "Wednesday", and then Arodus 14, 4708 (start of Second Darkness) works just fine. ;->

Also: in most months, a lot of the 6th day stuff, 20th day stuff, etc. falls on our "Sundays", which makes sense. ;->

Hmm...I found, in trying to do it first using Word calendar templates and changing the month name, day name, and year before looking for something here (duh!), that if you sort of ignore the order of days of the week as listed in the hardback Pathfinder Chronicles book (pg. 238):

Moonday = work, religion (night)
Toilday = work
Wealday = work
Oathday = work, pacts signed, oaths sworn
Fireday = work, market day
Starday = work
Sunday = rest, religion

Aw, crud; forgot that while 2008 IS a leap year here, 4708 is not...so it doesn't work after all... [cry][/cry]

I'm confused... :-/

Hmm...well, I got the newer version (pays to come in late to the party sometimes <G>), and extracted both to the directory where I keep my Pathfinder stuff. Should I have extracted the moon phases file to the Windows font directory? It's still giving me a rain drop, closed file, downward pointing hand, and open file symbols instead of the moon phase symbols. :-(

On the other hand, January 1, 2008 (Abadius 1, 4708) was on a Tuesday (my Toilday), and Viv's is on a Fireday (his fifth day of the week, my Oathday, Thursday in real life)?

I'm confused... :-/

My calendar assumes 360 days in a year.

Have fun with it, but don't expect it to match our Earth calendar with 365 days and a leap year once every 4 instead of 8 years.

As are we all. Paizo has not, to date, published an official calendar, so we're all working on our own preferred assumptions. The Guide to Korvosa states that there're 12 months of 30 days each, which makes 360 days in a non-leap year. The Campaign Setting says 52 weeks of 7 days, which makes 364 days.

::nodding:: Okay...Golarion must be somewhat closer to the sun than we are here, to have a "leap year" be 365 rather than 366...and thanks for doing the hard work! It does look cool...now, if I can just get the moon phases to behave...

Spring months (3 months of 30 days each)
[Beltane]
Summer months (3 months of 30 days each)
[Lughnasadh]
Autumn months (3 months of 30 days each)
[Imbolc]
Winter months (3 months of 30 days each)
[Samhain]

The four extra days (for which I just stuck in the names of four pagan sabbats) mark seasonal transitions and are not part of a 30-day month, but are part of a 7-day week; this allows for a 360 day calendar year and a 364-day physical year. The Romans did this sort of thing.

Thanks for sharing your hard work with us. :-)

This will come in very handy for the game I'm running for my friends. They just started out in RotR.
