Ungoded sure is good about this. :D

But there is an alternative.

I didn't create this, but someone.. at some point.. created a full Excel version of the calender with days and lunar cycles.

Don't credit me for it though. I wish I could attribute the author.

Find it here


No disrespect Watcher but your dates seem off in the version you have or I may be reading it wrong.

Here is one I built for Heroes of Golarion.

Oh I don't take it poorly. :D It's not my calender.

I will tell ya though, Jub-Jub, I like the other one for the ability to print and write on it though, as a sort of a notekeeping tool.

Out of interest, how is it wrong? Do you have better source information?

Yours does have the first of the year on Starday, which might be a better start for the Swallowtail festival. Though the consecration of the new cathedral was a multi-denominational event.

The Swallotail festival is supposed to be the first day of Autumn. I've been starting it on Rova 23, a Sunday.

Ah!

That's right. Actually so did I. When I found that Excel calender, I just changed the date of the festival to the 23rd, but have otherwise kept it the same.

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.

Not a huge point, but your Heroes of Golarion wiki calendar has the number of days in a calendar month corresponding with Gregorian calendar.

I would say that they used "30-day months" as a short way of saying "28- to 31-day months".

That said, I modified the calendar to fit my liking, so you are welcome to have 12 months of exactly 30 days if you wish...

Personally, I believe an in-game calendar should have exactly five dates. I call them "a while ago," "yesterday," "today," "tomorrow," and "sometime later." :-)

That's one way of looking at it. The other way is the way we meant it, which is that there are 12 months, and all of them have 30 days. ;D

(I'm totally just messing with you Djoc. Don't take my ribbings personally.)

Lol.

In fact, my calendar has 12 months of exactly 30 days, with 5 extra holidays in between trimesters at solstices and equinoxes (extra days are not part of any months, so it completes the 365-day year). So I guess I first thought you realy meant it literaly ;p

I also made 10-day weeks (I added 3 days to your week) and there are always exactly 3 weeks each month.

IIRC, I took that idea from the 2e FR campaign setting box I bought 10+ years ago. It works great and makes it easier to say which day of the week we are when many months or years are spent between adventures.


Well I updated the calander to match the 30-days per month rule. Now the only thing left is to line up the days so the match the adventure. So which day would be the 1st day of spring?
