A simple calendar module for keeping track of game days and events. Forked from the original Simple Calendar by Vigoren, and updated for compatibility with Foundry 13+.
Simple Calendar
Simple Calendar is the ultimate timekeeping module for FoundryVTT that works with all game systems!
It comes prepackaged with many preset calendars to get your world up and running quickly. Or if you have a completely custom-built calendering system for your world, Simple Calendar can handle that as well!
Get started and create the perfect calendar to enrich your world for your players!

- Customize each month to specify everything from how many days it has, its name to if the month is considered intercalary (falls outside normal months) or not.
Custom Years

- You can also name each year to give your world a unique touch!
Unique Weekdays

Seasons
- Determine how many seasons there are in your world.

Create Custom Moons
