A great tool for hexcrawl and dungeon delving time tracking, either for a 4 week/season 3 watch/day calendar or as a 3 month/season standard-year calendar (first box down the line is the first 4 week month, second box being the second 4 week month, and the third being the last 4 week month of that season).
The extra note space is great for reminders on when the barbarian hordes are going to attack, important festival days, and the moon cycle notes are great for planning the best night for when that cult's going to be performing a ritual.
Looks like you could easily make this work for a full-length year by simply treating each box as a full day, rather than a watch. Granted, having an accelerated calendar where the entire year goes by in just four months would absolutely fit in a fantasy world, as long as you don't try to apply real-world considerations for climate and vegetation. Food just grows faster, eh?
this is so handy as a dm at the table. Way better than the complicated system with 4week months, and three month seasons i had been using. Time never seemed to pass in my campaigns.

This is a great calendar tracker. Thanks so much for creating this!
Indispensable timekeeping sheet for OSR campaigns. Very much appreciated.
Glad it's helpful!

Great recap!
Awesome. What a great idea and beautiful printing styles. 👍🏻
Thanks a lot!
Got this for Cairn, looks great. I'll post a follow up when I use it.
Nice to see a Cairn Warden here. Let me know how it goes!

This is a great idea. Same exact document, and you're almost back to the 365 day year.
It's interesting how the "acceleration" is not always apparent on the Player's side (unless they're keeping their own calendar).

Both simple and functional - what more would you want.
Those were the exact goals. Thanks for getting me!

We're kindred spirits. I felt the same exact way-- time never seemed to pass. Hope this helps!
I have absolutely no idea how to track time but maybe this will help me. Thank you for taking time to create it.
Godspeed!
