03-19-06, 03:47 PM In this Dragonshard (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebds/20050307a) it says there are an average of 19 full moons each month. I'm personally wanting to keep track of how often each moon is full for my campaign, so is there any printed material that states how often each moon is full?

03-19-06, 04:13 PM Well, the work is already done for you. If you look at the very bottom of that Dragonshard you will see a link for the Calendar Utility (This link... http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebwe/20041129a ) and it shows when each moon is full plus lots of other info. I LOVE using it for all sorts of things. Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot!

Edit: Erg... Moon phases don't work right in firefox. Can still see it right in IE or by opening the moon phases page, but it doesn't work on the main page. :(

so, can someone fix this and provide us with this tool corrected?

Not with that program, though I estimate it using Celestia to be roughly every 3 months, and remains totally eclipsed for about 3 hours.

I'll get round to publishing the files for Eberron in Celestia one of these days (soon, I hope, and this time I mean it!), then you can check for yourself.

I've got a corrected version (or at least, I think my code has fixed it). It's an 88 KB file that zips down to 13 KB.
