[QUOTE="Ibrandul, post: 8221011, member: 6871736"] That used to be so but they haven't stuck to the practice exactly for a while now. Princes of the Apocalypse is explicitly set in 1491 and that book came out six years ago, but we're definitely not up to 1497 yet. The farthest-ahead material we've seen in 5e is 1494 (Descent into Avernus). Edit: I just checked and it turns out they messed up the timeline (again!) in Descent; it officially takes place in 1492 even though there's a very important event in the book that very importantly has to take place precisely 50 years after a previous very important event that took place in 1444. Why, WotC, why? Usually these timeline screw-ups are the kind of thing only lore junkies ever notice, but in Descent my player group (of whom only I care about FR lore) had a whole conversation at one point, after finding a certain document in-game, about how "Oh, that means it must be 1494 right now!"
