Official timeline of OOTS (calendar days)?

[Spoomeister]

I wonder if anyone has tried to figure out exactly how long OOTS has been happening, in story calendar days.

Count OOTS #1 as Day One. (Or Day Zero, for you annoying comp sci types.) What day is it today, in the OOTS timeline?

Best that I could find.:smallbiggrin:

[Chronos]

The best indicators we have are the chart in 489 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0489.html) which tells us the calender date when they started adventuring together and when Roy died (at least to precision of a month or so; the printed book probably has better resolution), the 103 days Roy spent blissfully up to 498 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0498.html), and the nine days he spent running down the mountain as of 500 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0500.html).

Past that, things get a bit fuzzier, but we know that as of the same day as comic 500, Kazumi Kato had been pregnant for 8 weeks (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0501.html), and as of 589 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0589.html), she's complaining of half a year of hemmorrhoids, presumably meaning that she's 6 months pregnant at that time. Based on the jump-cut in 581 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0581.html), the events of 589 were occuring on the same day that Haley and company went into hiding in Pete's cellar, and as of 602 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0602.html), they've been in the cellar for at least "over a week now", since that's how long Pete's been stalling them about the cleric coming. The events through 621 all seem to be the same day as 602, and 622 appears to be that evening or the morning after.

The current comics with Vaarsuvius are not necessarily occuring at the same time: We might be catching up on what e's been doing meanwhile. But e's been on that island for at least four days (having gone there on the day of 581), since that's how long e's been aware of Qarr (though Qarr could have been there longer, and just escaped notice at first).
