Notes

Living Greyhawk content published in 2002 is set in 592 CY.

As was Wizards of the Coast's policy at the time, the Living Greyhawk campaign continuity advanced the timeline to 591 CY for works released in 2001, continuing on a year-for-year basis for all adventures and Wizards.com web articles up to to 598 CY in 2008. This timeline concurrency rule would also be applied in Dragon, Dungeon, and Polyhedron magazines. The Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (2000), set in 591 CY, and Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (2007), set in 597 CY CY, explicitly set dates bookending these years.

In several Paizo forum threads, editor Erik Mona asserted that the rule applies in general to all Greyhawk adventures:[1][2][3]

"The default assumption of all Greyhawk adventures in Dungeon ... is that the last digit of the year in which they were published corresponds to the last digit in the Common Year calendar... 59X CY (X= last digit of real world year). So adventures published in 2004, for example, take place in 594 CY."
—Erik Mona (Jul 2007)[3]
