I cannot help out with any dates atm. However, I would like to make a little suggestion:
To make this scroll even more useful you should arrange this list of adventure modules not in alphabetical order but rather chronologically by year, starting with the earlies one. Or at least also in chronological order.
Anyhow, thanks for putting your time into this project.

An excellent contribution, Jinat!
I agree that it would an improvement to list the Modules by date.
Also, for the sake of scholarly rigor, it would be helpful to cite the pages in the modules where the dates are indicated. Where dates are not explicitly given, there should be some justification for the date given. Also, perhaps it would be useful to indicate at the top of the list that full bibliographic details for each of the Adventure Modules are available in Tethoril's Bookshelf.
Once all of the dates have been established, perhaps they could be added to the Adventure Modules descriptions in Tethoril's Bookshelf as: "Dale Reckoning Date: 13**"
Cheers,

I have most of the 2nd Edition modules. So, if you assign me five titles to start, I'll reference them.
Cheers

Hi Jinat
You indicated the following in your initial list:
quote:
The Haunted Halls of Eveningstar
(sometime after the ToT 1359)
How did you arrive at this date?
The earliest date for the module would be around 1356, a year or so after the retirement Jelde Asturien from the Knights of Myth Drannor to the House of Morning (HHoE p. 6 & Hall of Heroes) I can find no reference to the Time of Troubles in my edition of the Haunted Halls (TSR 1992). If this was not an oversight, the latest date would be 1358. However, if one assumes the Time of Troubles occurred but was not mentioned, the latest date would, I think, be 1370, the beginning of the Goblin Wars, which resulted in the destruction of much of Eveningstar (Into the Dragon's Lair WotC: 2000). Hence the module would be playable as is between 1356 and 1370. Thoughts?
Cheers

Putting it in chronological order, and adding corrections and page numbers as suggested. It’s a little time consuming so im putting it up as I work on it. Putting in changes as suggested by Brian R. James. Also Added adventure modules dated by Faraer.
In regards to Haunted Halls - capnvan is right, in most cases wherever I couldn’t find a specific date I used the AD&D edition as a guide. Don’t know of that approach works or not thou.
Also note changes to “Ruins of Adventure” which has three different dates now.
Afetbinttuzani could you look into The Marco Volo Trilogy
(set sometime after the Time of Troubles anywhere between 1367 to 1371), Nightmare Keep
(anywhere between 1359 to 1367), Spellbound Adventure
(set either in 1367 or 1368), Undermounta:The Lost Level. Having difficulty narrowing them down.
Thankyou everybody for the helping out

Strictly speaking, I agree that the assumption is post ToT, but I think that where the module is not explicit, we should shoot to produce the widest range of playable dates that are consistent with the details given within the modules. I, for example, am currently running a party of newbie PC's through the Haunted Halls just before the ToT. Nothing in the module contradicts this.

Will do. As I mentioned above, I favor the widest possible range of playable dates. Narrowing down the dates is an interesting academic exercise, but for me the goal is to help people play, to assist DMs in situating their campaigns in a way that is consistent with the FR timeline. If, in the absence of a concrete date, we provide the widest viable time range, we open more options for DMs. Opinions?
Cheers,

The Tuigan invasion definitely began in 1359 and ended (in Faerun, at least) in 1360, with a large number of Tuigan and Shou left behind in the "Unapproachable East."
FRA 1-3 take place while Yamun Khahan is still alive, and become very awkward to play after the summer of 1360 -- his son and presumed heir is a central figure in them, and (if he behaves like historic Mongols), he would immediately pack up and go to a kuriltai upon the death of his father, and never mind Solon, Ra-Khati, or anything else in that region. I didn't have the modules when I ran the Battles of the Golden Way and their aftermath, and now I am going to have a difficult time integrating the PCs into the adventures without them being recognized (and promptly executed).
Also peek at Realmspace by "slade" Henson, which discusses Shou Lung as a space-going power. Somewhere around Candlekeep is a scroll in which I asked the scholars here when that was set, since Shou Lung does not use its dragon ships agains the Tuigan in the "canonical" histories, but I don't have its location handy; a search for it with me as the author should bring it up fairly easily.
