larnak 01-13-07, 07:07 PM	I have been looking for a reference to the rate at which time passes in the Realms. I seem to remember seeing somewhere that it was 3 days there to one here, but I can't remember. I was going to search the forums for it, but that function seems to be hiding from me as well(perhaps I am blind and old). I was also lookikng to see if someone knows of a conversion routine to convert the current real time and date to that of the Realms. The reason for doing this for keeping track of time for my NWN2 project in a reasonable way. Thanks for any help, Larnak

Specifically, for every five months that pass in the real world, time in Faerun advances by two months. However, there have been times when that hasn't specifically occured largely due to lay offs/people quitting/WOTC re-adjustments, etc. Richard Baker has commented, once or twice, that they've fallen behind from what was printed in that page. Specifically, here's what Rich said... "Kythorn 1, 1373. We haven't really stuck with our intended world progression as well as we wanted to. I'm afraid I couldn't give you a good answer about "Thousand Orcs," try over on the book boards. quote: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Drake Ambrose Hey Rich I hope you enjoyed your time off! I have a question that I feel a bit silly for asking but as of FRPG what is the game world month year. I remember in the FR 3.0 source you mentioned a rough 5months in the real world=2months game time, however that doesn't really give a reference of when we should start counting from. And perhaps this is a little off topic but in the 1000 Orc novels what is the relational timeline in the game? Really enjoying the thread and thanks for answering us!
