I'm trying to help a friend out with starting a game, and we've been trying to think of a way to make a calender for events and stuff. I've seen the one in here, but I don't think we could actually write stuff in for the dates? There's the date on the calender, and then below it you have room to write what is going to happen that day? We'd greatly appreciate any help!

Also. It's a supernatural high school game, and we're trying to think of classes a werewolf and vampire would take? Suggestions?

What I would do is just take this lovely calendar here, because it's super easy to modify -- just change the width and height of each cell so they're big enough to fit whatever you have in mind. :)

<td align="justify" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="100" height="100" style="border: 1px dotted #9F9F9F;"><center>2 An event goes here</center></td>

<tr><td align="justify" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="100" height="100" style="border: 1px dotted #9F9F9F;"><center>5 and another one here</center></td>

<td align="justify" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="100" height="100" style="border: 1px dotted #9F9F9F;"><center>11 and one more little thing here.</center></td>
</tr>
</table>

	And so on; the comment boxes are too small to let me put in the whole month here, but you can just copy and paste rows (and fix the dates, obviously) if you want to use it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	My co-mod, eightyfour over at roadmaps is amazing and edited this one to get this. You'll notice by hovering you can see events. Let me know if you'd like the code! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'll also throw out... at one point I used a gmail calendar for my game. it worked very nicely and I even had it set up to send me reminders, so I was able to alert people about upcoming birthdays, events, etc. I embedded it on a wiki I had running for the game, but I'd imagine you could do so on an IJ page. It's not super customizable, but it's insanely easy to maintain and automatically updates for the current month.
