Hi all sorry if this seems like a dumb question but in terms of game year where are we on the calendar? Since Storm Kings Thunder is the most recent story/campaign to come out what year is it set?

They purposefully don't give a date in STK to allow DMs to put it where they want, giving a range of about 10 years. However, the novel Death Masks is set at the same time, and is set in Mirtul of 1491 DR, if my memory serves me correctly. The year I'm positive on, the month slightly less so.

Acolyte Nyx_Necrodragon,

Sadly, this is the reality for 5e. They are nerfing consistency and lore to lower costs, lower barriers to enter for new players, and make it easier to produce products in general.

In other words: all about them, and we get the left overs.

Best regards,

Why are you reviving so many old threads?

The Chosen of Deneir cannot help himself. I have been enjoying the scroll necromancy myself. Lot's of good Realmslore nuggets. The rearranging of all these old dusty scroll has gotten my allergies up in a dander!

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."
Alaundo of Candlekeep

Acolyte neutrondecay,

My sincere apologies for the frustration my zeal for mostly pre-Spellplague material has caused. Most of my focus is on (thought not all as you may have noticed with some of my responses to some 4e/5e topics) 3.5 Realms and earlier, back to 1e. I've been focusing on that due to my interest, but as well, for others due to the interest that we share in the material such as with Great Reader Brimstone.

By the way, I responded to your inquiry about noble names and titles. I realize it isn't fully where you want to go with it, but I'm hoping it moves you in that direction! :)

Best regards,
