Running a Traveller game, I would have preferred to use the Third Imperium calendar but it does not have months.
An actual Traveller calendar does have them as ship mortgage payments are in months.
Using a classical calendar for now, but it would be nice if this could be fixed.
Not a game breaker issue, but just a nice to do thing.
In the Third Imperium era standard calendar there aren't really months per se, but when a month is mentioned it just means 4 weeks.Quote:

I welcome an idea on how to address this to try and fit all. I myself manually track a calendar as the Mongoose 'current' era is 1105 constantly.

If the Imperial calendar had months I would use that. I will think about that, maybe do a little research in how it used to be ( back in the late 70's ) and get back to you. :) Thanks for the response.
I do remember what I did in my old homebrew days, a year was 12 months of 4 weeks, and as it was a fictional calendar, I did not feel the need to make it 365 days exactly long. But you are trying to be more cannon so that probably wont work for you.
The calendar as presented in FG is the same as that detailed here: https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Imperial_Calendar
One line of the "Year" section is two weeks. Therefore, 2 lines is 4 weeks = 1 month.
For example, I've decided that the first ship mortgage payment is due on Wonday (16), therefore the other payments are just 2 lines below:

I did think about that, but would prefer months, the Gregorian calendar will work for now, while we are on the subject, how do you change the time, I can alter the date, but having difficulty altering the time of dayQuote:
