12-02-05, 09:45 AM The Year of Rogue Dragons is 1373 DR -- last year in terms of game time.

Yes, but he's asking when in that year did the events start. :) And I can't recall a specific date.
Old Sage
12-02-05, 10:23 AM Yes, but he's asking when in that year did the events start. :) And I can't recall a specific date.I just naturally assumed it was representative of the entire year -- or rather, most of it, as in 1373 DR.

Now that I think about it though, I don't remember a specific time frame for the actual event...

12-02-05, 02:18 PM Well, does anyone know when the king-killer star reappeared? That's usually the kick-off for such things, isn't it?

Berz.

12-02-05, 03:41 PM Perhaps I'm just not up to date with my Faerun history, but could someone tell me more about this event/time period?

You need to check out The Year of Rogue Dragons novel trilogy, or the upcoming Dragons of Faerun accessory...

12-02-05, 06:08 PM The King-Killer Star did *not* make an appearance this time around (so far as I know). This is what makes this Rage unique.

I'd have to check the dates in the chapter leads of the first novel, but I seem to recall it started very early in the year, like Hammer.

--EricAye! The month of Hammer -- 16th to be exact ;).

So my earlier comments about the Rage occuring for most of the year weren't entirely off the mark :). Good to know my memory can still be relied upon at times...

12-02-05, 09:28 PM Wait...so the year isn't 1372 anymore?
Old Sage
12-02-05, 09:46 PM No. It's late 1374 DR -- at least according to Rich's "Last Mythal" novels which are at the current point of FR game time.
LucyWanabe
12-02-05, 09:54 PM Hells...okay, well, I'll just say my game is taking place in an alternate timeline of FR.
Old Sage
12-02-05, 10:08 PM Just remember that your campaign doesn't have to follow the same lengths of time as the official campaign setting. Just because the official FR is at 1374 DR, doesn't mean your campaign has to be as well.

My main FR campaign is still in 1369 DR :D.

;)
LucyWanabe
12-02-05, 10:26 PM Lol, thanks. Well, following the timeline is a bit moot at this point because the PCs have done a few things that would screw up cannon timelines. :cool:

So, 1372 it is!
Old Sage
12-02-05, 10:50 PM You're welcome ;).

And just to add to what I said earlier... the progression of campaign time doesn't have to be exact either. I know that for my current 1369 DR game, I won't be entering 1370 DR until late next year (and I started this game in earlier '04) :D.
