Golarion Calendar Excel Sheet


This is a spreadsheet calendar for the Pathfinder RPG. It has its own page now because it's the most consistently popular post on my blog. Glad so many people have found it useful!

Specifically this is the Absalom Reckoning(AR) calendar. The user should have as many options available to them as the Golarion setting allows. There are many details that the canon books don't touch upon(phases of the moon, etc), but are necessary to establish to complete a calendar. Where possible I avoided hard coding such things.

On the main sheet you can change:
  • the year, which defaults to 4711 AR, the current year in the Pathfinder universe
  • the weekday that the AR calendar starts on(1 Abadius, 1 AR), default Moonday
  • how often leap years occur, default 8. This one is specified in the canon but there's good reason to change it.
  • Moon cycles, how often and when they start
There is also an 'Events' sheet that allows changing or adding events and holidays to the calendar.

Edit: I've fixed the bugs with modifying phases of the moon and have moved the related options into the main page. The time between lunar months is set to 29.5 days, with the first full moon of 1 AR occurring on 1st of Abadius.
Edit: Quarter moon phases can now be tracked as events in the Events sheet by referencing a 'phase chart' in the CORE sheet. These changes have not been migrated to the Office version, which still contains a moon phase bug.


There is a special font used for displaying the Moon Phases
