Are there tools for creating online custom calendars?

Someone on RPGnet suggested just using Google Docs, which now seems like a no-brainer. :D Ideally I'd like something that let me make notes the players can't see, but there might be a way to do that in GoogDocs.

I was going to recommend something similar -- basically, make it sort of in excel or word or whatever your spreadsheet or word processor of choice is and then just have it in a webaccessble place for sharing and editable.

as far as being able to add hidden dm notes...
your "fall back plan" could be to simply keep a separate list/document/hidden webpage for the DM stuff. Yes, I realize it's not the ideal solution which is why I call it a back-up plan if nothing else...

I went through the Wayback Machine to see when/if ownership changed.

Internet Archive: Wayback Machine

I'm not sure if the ownership actually changed. Even after the site changed to a non-gaming blog format, the tools were still available... and, in fact, were linked to on the main page of the blog. The main writer on the blog is the same person that is currently trying to sell the domain. I couldn't find a valid contact for the old site prior to the blog.

At any rate, the guy wrote me back and said he would check to see if the rpg tools were still on the server.
 

Calender Generator Update

mattcolville, Just a quick note to let you know that we have updated the calendar at startingtavern.com/calendar and it probably covers most of what you were looking for. It is now a perpetual calendar engine and can take any calendar format and allows you to view forward any number of days, months and years.

You can now:
- specify your calendar name
- specify your starting year
- set the number, name and length of months
- specify the day names
- specify what day your year starts on
- specify if you have leap years
- specify leap year frequency
- specify which month gains an extra day in a leap year
- specify how many moons you have
- specify the moon cycles

We are about 12-24 hours away from letting you add events to your calendar, which will also have the ability to link to either characters or sessions hosted on our site. We are also looking at allowing players the ability to add 'session reviews' to the calendars as well.

Sounds great. But I'm too lazy to sign up to another site to look at it. :)
