[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 5747934, member: 16991"] In my previous world I had 9 months (named after 9 gods) each with 42 days (378 days per year). New moons were on the 1st and 21st each month (the moon was the home of the goddess of evil) Most months had a holiday that related to their god - memorial day for the god of war. A 15% off sale day for the god of trade, the feast of fools/masquerade for the god of illusion. The world even had 3 saints days - 2 were during months that no one wanted to celebrate, (like god of hatred) -- With 4e I just got lazy. I now use the real world calendar, and rarely mention holidays. It has the advantage of being easier to keep the seasons straight that way. I don't have to remind the players of what the weather is likely to be on the 38th day of Mytan. They did wander into the latitudes of northern Canada, during February. 4 hours of daylight really cut into their travel time, along with the ever present snow. 3 of 5 characters obtained magical cold protection of one sort or another (which is expensive in 4e) [/QUOTE]
