Campaign Calendar
Real dates, regular game months, and seasons that span four real-life weeks.
Spring, Month 1 begins Monday, November 2, 2026.
Today Each colored block is one real-life week and one Spindrift month. Seasons change after four blocks, even partway through a real-life month.
Each Monday begins a new Spindrift month. A Spindrift month contains four Spindrift weeks, and your character gets one Deed per Spindrift week: four Deeds per month. You also have one Endeavour per season. Real-life months vary in length; Spindrift's seasons always last four real-life weeks, exactly 28 days.
How Time Works in Spindrift
Spindrift uses a clean, regular time structure to make keeping track of time as easy as possible. One real-life week is one Spindrift month. Each month has four Spindrift weeks, with one Deed per week. Four months make a season, and four seasons make a year. A Spindrift year therefore contains 16 months—64 Spindrift weeks—and takes 16 real-life weeks, or 112 days.
| Spindrift time | Made up of | Real-life time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 week | 1 Deed | ¼ real-life week at this time scale |
| 1 month | 4 Spindrift weeks · 4 Deeds | 1 week · 7 days |
| 1 season | 4 months · 16 Spindrift weeks | 4 weeks · 28 days |
| 1 year | 4 seasons · 16 months · 64 Spindrift weeks | 16 weeks · 112 days |

Spindrift seasons do not reset when a real-life month or year changes. Keep counting Monday-to-Sunday blocks; after the fourth month, the next season begins. After Winter's fourth month, a new Spindrift year begins with Spring.
How Much Time Passes in Spindrift?
These examples count forward from the campaign's first Monday, November 2, 2026. Exact end dates are shown because real-life calendar months and years vary in length. A real-life calendar month is not always exactly four weeks.

The chart counts complete Spindrift months. Remaining real-life days show progress toward the next Monday; they do not define how many Spindrift days a Spindrift month contains. Five real-life calendar years from launch span 16 Spindrift years and 1 season, with six real-life days toward the next month.
Reading the Blocks
Each block runs Monday through Sunday in real life and represents one Spindrift month: four Spindrift weeks, with one Deed per week. Four blocks—four Spindrift months, or 16 Spindrift weeks—make a season. The next Monday begins the next season, regardless of the real-life month boundary.
For example, Spring runs November 2–29, 2026. Summer begins November 30, before the real-life month of December starts.
This schedule uses Spring → Summer → Autumn → Winter, beginning with Spring, Month 1 on Monday, November 2, 2026. These are campaign seasons, not the weather outside. Each year has 16 months; formal month names and historical year numbering have not yet been assigned.
Dates and “Today” use Eastern time (America/New_York). Browse previous or upcoming real-life months with the calendar controls; the current campaign status always describes today.
