Our group put an extensive Kingmaker game on hiatus several months ago, and one of the things I did (on the Obsidian Portal) was to keep a close eye on month & year. I figured I'd do the same in SnS, and yet have no reference point that I can find for a start date.
Any suggestions?

I believe standard assumption is that current year AR is current year here + 2700. It is currently 4713 on Golarion. I don't think that months come into play in that AP, so you could make it whenever you like, maybe the Golarion equivalent of when the first book was released. That was February 2012, right? So Calistril, 4712.
I've started the game in the summer months. I haven't nailed down a specific month yet, but it will probably be late July on Day 1 aboard the Wormwood.
Even though it is in a tropical setting and warm year round there is mention of a couple of massive storms and very hot days in the first book. That to me equates to late July or early August.

I'd never heard that convention before - thanks. Makes for a good starting point. Our KM game left off in the early months of 4714, and while it's highly unlikely that the current party would ever hear anything about the growth of a new kingdom way up north - let alone be even remotely impacted by it - I thought it'd be interesting from a player perspective to juxtapose the two alongside one another chronologically.
I think I'll start SnS in (January) of 4713.
Thanks!
