I'm looking into a calendar module, based on the Warhammer Imperial Calendar (https://warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/Calendar):


A standard Imperial year lasts 400 days, divided into twelve months of 32 or 33 days each, with six intercalary holidays. These holidays exist outside of the normal sequence of months and weekdays

And I'm having trouble with these intercalary holidays. How can I add days in the FG calendar that don't belong into a week?

Hmm well the Greyhawk calendar has months and festive season celebrations which last a whole week. That might point you in the right direction.

My homebrew campaign has holidays like that. I just did them as separate months. They still have a "day of the week", which I ignore.

That's how the Greyhawk calendar was implemented too.

You mean as Phystus did it?

I tried that, but having a whole 7 (well 8 here) columns from day 1 to day 7/8 for nothing seems… well… not good.
