Hey gang --
Are there any suggested starting dates (in the Greyhawk Calendar) for the three APs? If I want to assume that Shacked City starts on a certain date, and the two other APs follow in succession, when should they start (month and year)?

The default assumption of all Greyhawk adventures in Dungeon since I joined the staff (#106 or thereabouts) is that the last digit of the year in which they were published corresponds to the last digit in the Common Year calenday of the Year of Greyhawk: 59X CY (X = last digit of real world year).
So adventures published in 2004, for example, take place in 594 CY.

Acutally, I do recall that. I guess then that I can start my AoW campaign in 595. I am looking for the time of year for AoW in The Whispering Cairn adventure, and can't recall seeing it anywhere. Which (Greyhawk) month should be used to stay consistent with the upcoming adventures?

I'd think that must depend on when the upcoming adventures took place. The entire campaign seems to take place in some sort of endless summer but in reality I'm sure each DMs players stake a different amount of time to run through the campaign. There is a huge difference in how long a campaign takes if ones players stop and smell the roses (and do some crafting) and how long it takes if they race from one adventure to the next.
