[QUOTE="Trit One-Ear, post: 6545098, member: 6678017"] Hey all, So I'm getting obnoxiously into world building for my home-brew campaign. Most of it is based off preexisting D&D mythos (Gods, races, monsters etc. generally follow Grayhawk/Eberron roles/relationships with some minor tweaks), but has a unique history and geography. I've decided I want to create a unique calendar for the world, just so I can talk about times and dates without having to say Wednesday, April 5th. To keep it simple, however, I've just renamed our months and days, keeping the rest similar to our Gregorian calendar. Below is a list of all the renaming I did. However, I want to play with the year system. I've mentioned this is other threads, but the central kingdom was founded ~150 years ago by a king who has (mysteriously) lived up to current date. At this point is he ~175 years old. There is a sense to using a year system based on the creation of the kingdom, but then it would be specific to this kingdom, and not universally used in the neighboring kingdoms (that is, unless I justify that the creation of this kingdom heralded the dawn of a new "age"). I've also considered using the King's age as a system, effectively rewriting history so that his birth year is year 1. We'd then be in year ~175 now. Similar problems to those above, however, as it's entirely specific to this kingdom. I could also just pick a random year, have it be universal, and create an ages system that justifies the year any way I want. Do you all have thoughts/opinions? MONTHS: Jan - Month of the Hare Feb - Month of the Snake March - Month of the Bear April - Month of the Fox May - Month of the Unicorn June - Month of the Raven July - Month of the Horse Aug - Month of the Dragon Sept - Month of the Owl Oct- Month of the Griffen Nov - Month of the Wolf/Hound Dec - Month of the Hawk DAYS: Mon - Day of the Moon Tues - Day of Glory Wed - Day of Hunt Thurs - Day of the Storm Fri - Day of the Mother Sat - Day of the Father Sun - Day of the Sun Happy Day of the Sun, 1st of the Bear everyone!
