06-17-05, 05:07 AM I'm having a lot of trouble generating a calendar for my campaign that I can use. I have names for days and months, but I am having a hard time making the leap from concept to paper. The difficulty lies in the fact that my calendar has 364 days and 13 months, so a standard calendar format won't work. I'd like a calendar for referencing important dates and the moon cycle, but I am at a loss as to how this can be done simply.

06-17-05, 05:21 AM If you have either the Forgotten realms or Dragonlance campaign settings both have workable calenders and the dragonlance has a chart for tracking moon cycles. Probably not a big help but its 4 in the morning so my brain isn't runnin on all cylinders :D

Where's the difficulty exactly?

You have 13 months, each month has 28 days and you've already named the days and months. The standard calendar should work fine, easier actually, since each month has the same amount of days.

Are the months tied into the moon cycle?

How many days are in your week?
