How to Play TriadCity
The TriadCity Players' Guide
How to read the date.
A formal TriadCity date looks like this:
"Diamond Star's Day, Month of Turtles 2, Year of the Dog 1".
Here's how to read it:
"Diamond Star's Day" is one of the seven
days of the week. It would correspond to Friday
on the Without calendar.
"Month of Turtles 2" is the current day of the current
month of the year. Because there are thirteen
months in TriadCity, it doesn't correspond exactly to any particular
month on the Without calendar, although it does fall around the season
we might label "August".
"Year of the Dog" is the current
year of the current Great Cycle. There are thirteen
years per Great Cycle; and then the Cycle repeats.
"Year of the Dog 1" is the 12th year of the first Great Cycle.
When you put this all together,
"Diamond Star's Day, Month of Turtles 2, Year of the Dog 1"
is formally equivalent to the Without form
"Friday, August 2, 1 A.D.". But only formally: you'll find
with experience that things are not strictly analogous.
