Using the Zodiac Mage as a guide, I made a calendar for Palladium Fantasy. It is an integral part of the current game I am running, and I wanted to share. Opinions are welcomed!

Nice! I have often wondered why there were no Rifts or PF Calendars for the year!! Great idea!!

Cool.

Btw, are Palladium World's months the same as our months for simplicity or are months described anywhere?

Church for light and or dark though. No Dragon wright months

There is an official OCC in one of the recent Rifters. And surprisingly the PF months of the year are January, February, march, april, may, june, july, August, september, october, november, and december.

This would be in following the KISS principal and to use what people know.

PFRP has used the terms luna passings (or similar) for the Grackyn adventure but that may have been a faerie term.

The old version of The Old Ones had a timeline that actually told you what year it was in Palladium. IIRC it was somewhere between 1200's and 1800's.

Simplicity, although it is stated that the days are the same length.

Kym-nark-mar is September, so one Dragonwright month. My game is based on rebuilding Osiris, so it is a little Church of Light & Dark centric.

One of the things my players appreciate is they write their own logs of the adventure, and the year represents the land they are from: for instance Overkill, who is from Bizantium, considers the year to be the 22nd Year of King Bafag, while Rell, from the Eastern Territory, claims it is the 340th Year of the Dominion. They say it reminds them of the differences of background within the group.

I may steal this idea if I ever run a PFRPG game in the future.

Please, steal away!!

Nice work! I need to do something like this myself.

Thanks!! Go ahead and steal!

I call it familiar.

As did I call it familiar, but wanted to bring the unfamiliar out, thus the calendar.
