I'm kind of curious which calendar people are using.

I know that the standard dates are a 368 day calendar in a variety of sources.
They agree on 5-day weeks.

WEG Era, 10 months of 35 days, plus 3 "festival weeks" and 3 "holidays" which all fall outside the months. Presumably, it matches the tapani pattern, which see below.

Essential Atlas uses a 12 month calendar...
368 days, 12 months (which means 30 8/12 days each), with 5th, 7th and 10th months certainly having at least 31 days. (Note, unless it's weird, it's unlikely to have more than 31 days in a month.)

I postulate the following pattern from that: 31,31,30,31,31,30,31,31,30,31,31,30

Empire day is given in this calendar as :5:25. (5th month, 25th day)


There is the Tapani Calendar, as well, from WEG's Lords of the Expanse... the pattern being: 35,35,1,35,5,35,35,1,35,5,35,35,1,35,35,5

Some gamers used to use a Pseudo-Julian calendar - the julian calendar simply numbers all days sequentially. Essentially, just numbering 1-368...

I myself am planning on using the Atlas calendar in my just starting AOR campaign.

We're using the WEG one in both games.

People used to call me a need when I was younger, for looking into the details and minute aspects of settings or stories I liked. Boy, I wish the Internet existed then... because do I ever feel at home around you people.

I haven't had a campaign stick on one planet for long, so by default we're basically assuming a julian variant, where it's 'day 38 of the campaign'. None of my players have ever asked for or come up with holidays or celebrations, sadly, so they tend to get omitted.

God that's way too much work. Fortunately in my canon, the Courscant Mean Time is 24 hours long and there's 365 of them in a year. Much easier that way.

I've always found other calendars interesting. Earth has several variations on how to form "weeks"... and how to calculate months... and loads of variations on when the calendar starts.

But I got hooked on the idea whilst reading The Hobbit. I had access to a copy with notes on the shire calendar...

I think there is something in the core book about a standard day being 20 hours and a standard week being 5 days, but I have no idea where I got that from

Mostly, days are the duration of plot.

In my campaign, I'm using a home brew calendar based off of a 368 day year. Below is link to my games wiki that explains it fully;

Calendar of the Galactic Empire

WEG calender but everything is ABY. Right now it is 102 days ABY.

There has been no reason in my game to detail it further then that

We barely even think about the calendar. Every once in a while time comes up and we usually end up going. "eh, I guess a yearish has gone by," or something similar.
