What is the current year, AG?

[TheBigBlueFrog]

I know this is probably somewhere in the Guild Guide, but what is the current year in Season 1? I know it's after 316, because that's when Jadnura became First Seeker.

[Arc Riley]

CRB 427 has a timeline and shows the current year as 317. However, we're past Origins now so the year might be 318.

[Nefreet]

Just like the current year in PFS is 4718, the year in SFS would be 318.

Current real life year + 2700 = Pathfinder year
Current real life year - 1700 = Starfinder year

[Arc Riley]

But does PFS/SFS change over at our Jan 1, Origins, or Gencon?

[TheBigBlueFrog]

So, when they describe the Scoured Stars Incident as "recent" they mean really recent. The description of the Aquisitives faction implies that the mercenaries hired after SSI have had time to build a relationship with the Starfinder Society and then join. Events have obviously moved along at a good clip.

I've always calculated it as independent of Season; just +/- the actual year (so resetting on Jan 1st).

I look at it as, "What's easiest to calculate? Go with that".

It very rarely ever comes up, but I do have a character that RPs as a "Centennial": a Millennial, but turned 18 after the century.

The Scoured Stars incident was over a year ago, a few months before the events of 1-00.

1-09 takes place several months after 1-00 (based on a clause in the adventure).

Based on this, I think its reasonable to assume this as a relative timeline.

Scoured Stars - Pharast or Gozran, 317 AG

Claim to Salvation - Sarenith, 317 AG

Commencement - Arodus, 317 AG

Scoured Stars Invasion - Sarenith, 318 AG

So roughly when they were released except that Claim likely takes place a couple months prior.

[Hmm]

Thank you, everyone —

This discussion has been very helpful to me as a settings GM in straightening out the timeline in my head!

Hmm
