Notes

Living Greyhawk products published in 2006 are considered to take place in the year 596 CY. This rule was also respected by Dragon and Dungeon magazine. In a Paizo forum thread titled Appropriate Year for Greyhawk SCAP?, editor Erik Mona asserted that the rule applies in general to all Greyhawk adventures:

"There is an easy formula you can use to determine when any "Greyhawk" adventure takes place within the framework of the campaign timeline. Take a look at the last digit of the real-world year [before 2000] in which the adventure was published. Put a 5 and a 9 in front of it to determine the corresponding Greyhawk Common Year"
