So... I find most useful for my games a month by month chronology of events in FR. Something that is possible to do, I think, by merging the chronologies in various products.
Before I might the bullet and contruct one myself, I thought I would ask if anyone else has already done one?
Not a yearly chronology like the 'Grand History of the Realms.'
Any help would be aoppreciated. :)

Grand History of the Realms does in fact have a month by month chronology, even day by day IIRC in some parts, from the year 1356ish until the Spellplague. |

Depends on what you call a "month-by-month" -The grey box has a series of rumors and events for 1356 and 1357, organised by month; something similar (but on a more limited geographical scale) was done for 1358 in FR5 - The Savage Frontier. Karen Wynn Fonstead's atlas ran day-by-day chronologies of the fiction that was published at the time (up to and including the Avatar trilogy), and some later novels (but by no means all) specified the dates or, at least, the timeframes, in which they took place. The hardover of the Grand History had months or even exact days for a very few years.
A lot of that (up to the advent of 3E) I have combined with the original PDFs of the Grand History and completed with the data from the published hardcover to make up a pretty detailed chronology master document, but as far as I know, no full month-by-month was ever done that spanned the timeframe of 1E-3.5 E. |

Damn it, I'm starting to find a reason to purchase the published version of GHotR. <shudder> Maybe i can find a used one to avoid supporting WOTC directly. ;)

That is exactly what I wanted to do so I can properly sync my various campaigns! I actually had already started the job a few weeks back when my portab;le hard drive crashed, and that was one of the few non-backed up files since it was so new.

| As I found when compiling my Dales timeline, most published events don't have a definite month, so that for the recent, better documented decades the best you can do is a sometimes speculative order of when things happen within each year. |

Month by Month FR Chronology?
