Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanefan" data-source="post: 5757573" data-attributes="member: 29398">Date: tracked and recorded.  The game logs are based on what happens each game day (rather than each session).Calendar: homebrew, 9 months of 40 days each = 360 days, no variance - not even a second per decade - because those who built the world designed it that way.Holidays: noted in the players' write-up, seldom bothered with much in game.  I could - and probably should - design different holidays and celebrations for each culture and-or pantheon, but life's too short.Birthdays: players track these (roll a d-9 for month then a d-40 for day) and sometimes make use of them in game.Moon phases: they are noted but not tracked closely unless it's relevant, and it only ever becomes relevant if a) lycanthropy is involved, b) if it's a clear night and someone is trying to see in the dark, or c) if someone actually tries to go to a moon. Tracking moon phases in my current game is a mess as one of the moons goes "backward" through the sky (reverse orbit) and the two moons are on vastly different rotations.Astronomy: somethng else I really should put some time to, figuring out some constellations and star charts; other planets, etc.  I know some DMs get all kinds of story ideas out of such things; I guess I ain't one of 'em. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Lan-"and to confuse things, the length of a month is equal to the cycle of neither moon"-efan</blockquote>
