Custom Calendar

Aleslosh · December 4th, 2016, 09:43 AM

How do I set up a custom calendar in Realm Works? I've created a 20 month calendar with a maximum of 22 days based on the gods where divine spells for that particular god during that particular month have a bonus penetration (think a bonus to spell penetration)

It's not possible yet.

Excel or custom software for the foreseeable future. No ETA on calendars but to add UI to make it happen is non-trivial. My estimate is GenCon at the soonest based on what's on LWD's plate right now.

GenCon of what year?

I like Donjon's generators. I don't use their calendar maker as I'm happy with the quasi-Gregorian and complicated calendars make my head hurt.

As for the year for which Gencon, you made me spit beer out of my nose. Stop it! I'm hoping for 2017 but that may just be delusional hope on my part.

Sorry for the beer out the nose... But I figure the market and a lot of things that go with it will be consuming LWD until April or maybe even GenCon. After all, the market is coming to us in stages with the first stage slated for mid to late Decemter (Christmas maybe). If we are lucky, I'm guessing we will see one stage each month or two.

Calendars seem to be low on LWD's priority in my opinion and possibly for good reason. If they can't find someone with a good UI design capability to solve their problem, we may be waiting a long time. Remember, player journals have a higher priority then the calendar system... at least that's according to the one and only survey we've had so far.

@viking2054: I totally agree with your take on the situation. We know that player journals are on the docket as well as web access and those may come before calendars. I'm still hopeful for 2017 but I've gotten used to being disappointed. LWD does great work; but due to team size, it takes time....

I understand being hopeful. But if you want to be realistic, I'm not sure calendars are in for the 2017 calendar year...
