Hey, /tg/, I'm looking for a program I can use to make a fantasy setting timeline. I'd love it if I could use it to make a fantasy calendar, as well as add in dates for events (including date ranges for different ages or for events that have no specific date). Problem is, most programs I run across use only a real life calendar.

I would prefer something free, but if that's not available, if you got a paid program, let me hear about that, too.

You know what, OP, that's not such a bad idea. If I have some free time, I might try my hand at making that program for you.

Seconding this request. And that'd be awesome, anon.

Dwarf Fortress Legends Mode. Generate the timeline, export the file and view it via Legends Viewer.

Also, use Isoworld to generate an isometric map of the world, in any scale you want.

this site has a lot of helpful tools for that sort of thing though keep i mind it's designed around RNG adventures

Can Isoworld be used for dungeon mapping? That'd be wunderbar.

Guy from >>217540 here. Had trouble with my internet connection since I moved into another apartment. Will get to it as soon as I can.

In the meantime, hit me with what the app should have. Unique calendar making? Timeline creation? Events?

Based anon is based.

Unique calendar with customizeable months per year, days per month (individually?), days per week, days per year and customizeable moon cycle(s) that you can put recurring shit like holy days and shit into.

Timeline creation that can be set to use your custom calendar.

Get a bit of paper and a pen, then make a timeline in photoshop and make it as fancy as you want or can.

You really don't need a program for it, unless you intend to fill in day, weeks, and months in a timeline that probably spans hundreds of years.

Thjis is basically what I was thinking

don't forget setting leap years, and what day of the week that the calendar started, perhaps?

What I mean by setting leap years is that some calenders might have different amounts of leaps. Golarion, for example, has an extra day every 8 years.
