Anyone know offhand or can point to concrete signs?

Not sure but I think it is 1367ish, will have to check if the boxed set mentions anything.

Mace's not so gentle gamer's journal My rants were harmless compared to this, beware!

Offhand, as I recall... the RoMD boxed set was published in '93. That puts it at about the same time as the 2e FR boxed set (revised) in terms of real-time -- and that's 1367 DR.

I also remember that the RoMD boxed set references the events of Elfshadow, which was set in 1361 DR.

So, I'd say between 1361 DR and 1367 DR.

I can't find any direct internal sign of dating. Some of the Knights of Myth Drannor are given as a level or two higher than in the 1993 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, which might be an inconsistency or might indicate RoMD is set a little later than 1367.

I'll probably ask Ed.

Aye.

And now that I've looked at the Campaign Guide itself, I've just noticed the Knights levels as well.

Regardless, given the publishing date in real-time, I'd still say 1367 DR is a good place to start for the actual dating of the boxed set. Ed will likely be able to specify completely where he feels it should be.
