[QUOTE="JohnLynch, post: 6763751, member: 6749563"] One of Pathfinder's APs establishes that Earth 1918 AD is roughly contemporaneous to Golarion 4713 AR (I say roughly because there is no canon as to when most of the Golarion AP's occur. I've selected 4713 AR because this was the "current" Golarion year when the AP was released). So if you wanted guidance as to what era Earth is currently in, if you go by Golarion it's early twentieth century. The metafiction of the Forgotten Realms is that Elminster has told Ed Greenwood about the Realms and that what Ed is told then gets translated into D&D books. If you keep that fiction then you can only conclude that the current year between Earth and Toril must be at some point after 1490 DR as we know the state of the Realms for this time period. Therefore if you want the current era of the Forgotten Realms to lineup with the current era of Golarion and the early twentieth century of Earth than you can easily do that as well. [/QUOTE]
