I saw that they were available to beta members, but that seems to be from 7 months ago or so. Are these available yet? If not, is there an ETA on when they will be?

Custom calendars are not available right now. If I recall correctly, the way they implemented them proved to be problematic. I think this was about the time when they took a poll to ask everyone to rate upcoming features in order of preference.
I don't know the ETA. |

I think they said that there was only a small group of people who really wanted this, so they pushed this back as it is appearently a complex matter. If I remember correctly.

A small group perhaps - but certainly very vocal!
I believe it is some way down the road, just out of sight - or so I like to imagine it... Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed.

But to reiterate what the others have said, there isn't an ETA but I believe it is still very much on their "List o' things to do!" |

Out of curiosity, those of you who want custom calendars, how do you customize them? Do you keep basically keep the same calendar format, and rename the months or use a different offset?
Or do you restructure the whole thing? With months of different lengths than we use, and different year lengths? What's the scoop? |

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.

For me, I want to be able to create:
The Gloranthan Calendar (42-week year broken down into 5 8-week seasons, each of 7 named days, and a 2-week Sacred Time) The Hârn Calendar (360 days of 12 30-day months) The Third Imperium Calendar (basically an offset Julian) with corresponding conversion to Gregorian and Zhodani. The Hijri Calendar (lunar celendar of 354 or 355 days broken down into 12 months), with conversion to Julian and Gregorian. Give me a few months and I'll want the Greyhawk calendar as well. At the moment, my main campaign is in Golarion, which uses the Gregorian calendar with different month names. I can cope with it as is. It seems simpler to allow me to create custom calendars Last edited by Barwickian; February 2nd, 2017 at 11:29 AM. |

I just freaking can't stand the calendar interface the program has now. I finally figured out how it is intended to be used, but I wish I could just type a freaking date. If there is a way to type the date, I haven't been able to figure it out. UGH. Wouldn't being able to just type the date be a simpler interface than the mouse clicking popup, which doesn't make clear which portions are clickable? It's one of the aspects of RW that moves me to profanity.
I simply delete the supplied date snippets and insert my own. It's much better for my blood pressure. |
