In Game Date **Spoiler Free**

[Lifat]

Hi ppl.
I'm going to be a player in a Shattered Star campaign, and as such I want no spoilers on it. I'm sitting around trying to create a background story for my character but I have been unable to find out what in game year the campaign is supposed to start. Can anyone please answer that?

Hmm, can't find anything in the Player Guide. But according to Inner Sea World Guide the standard start year is 4711.

Thanks for the try. I had read the player's guide to try and find the date as that is supposedly reasonably spoiler free.

I guess I'm going to assume roughly year 4711 AR unless I hear otherwise.

I don't know the specific year, but it does take place after Curse of the Crimson Throne.

The year is left fluid so it can be changed as needed, but the current year in Golarion is 4716 (because in real life it's 2016). If you want to stick to when it was published (2012-2013) the start year would be 4712.

Both years are viable I guess. I didn't know that it was how they handled Golarion years. I think that is an exceptionally good way of handling it because it is so simple. Thank you.

Technically, on Golarion right now is 4811 AR, since it was 1918 on Earth in 4713 AR. But yes, the current time for PFS and stuff like that is 4716 AR. Since the first shattered star was published in August 2012, you can say that the date is Arodus 4712 AR.

Best to ask the GM.

Ask the GM - eg I'm setting it starting in late 4710, a couple years earlier than publication date since I'm running it coterminous with Rise of the Runelords, but 2 years after Curse of the Crimson Throne.
