As in Imperial calender year, not real world comparison. I'd like to start making journal entries that show the passage of time in game. Thanks

You should check Winds of Chaos -site for calenders. They are really good for this (Encroachment of Chaos > bottom of the page): www.windsofchaos.com/

As for the year - WFRP3 edition timeline seems to be Imperial Year 2521. The Storm of Chaos event is just hitting Kislev and next year Archaons horde is attacking the Empire. Offcourse I would start probably some years before, because dont know when (or if ever) some campaign-book about SoC is coming...

WFRP2 edition timeline started after the Storm of Chaos (at the end of 2522 or beginning of 2523). So, all the information in those books commonly end to that event.

For more about timelines, do check also my site: Kalevala Hammer - 2500

The map of Empire at the end of Core box's rulebook states 2521 (iirc). That's the best an most accurate shot we're given. So it's either 2521 or early 2522 before Storm of Chaos.

Also - Does anyone else have this topic constantly showing "a new post from Jackdays"?
