What's the scoop?
My fantasy world has a year of 480 days and two moons with different cycles leading to a variety of solar, lunisolar and lunar calendars used in-game, several of them relevant to the back story and to spellcasting traditions.

On top of that, my science fantasy realm has planets with different year lengths (including seasons etc.) that somehow have to relate to the standard caldendar based on the homeworld (the fantasy world above)...


So, reading about the ability to set up custom calendars was my original motivation to invest into RealmWorks. And even though I love the program, I am anxiously awaiting the implementation of custom calendars.
