I am now going to nitpick.
Have you just renamed the normal months as those of Harptos? In the calendar of Harptos, each month lasts exactly 30 days. That is 12 months of 30 days. None with 31, and certainly not a weird one with 28 or 29 depending on the year.
As it currently is, it's correct. Or at least, it looks correct. Did it say "Midwinter" instead of "31st of Hammer" on the 31st of January? Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to make a table of days according to the calendar of Harptos. In fact, here is one:
1 January. 1 Hammer
Can easily make one for spring years too.

but...but... 12 months of 30 days is 360...There are 365 days per year...so how will we maintain the date in server years being one for one with actual years?

Leap year is the word. I said spring year for some reason.
On a leap year, a day is added between Midsummer and 1st of Eleasis called Shieldmeet.

Moon phases would probably imply the necessity to redo the calendar each year to adjust the relevant phases though!
[Edit] And WOW. It already existed!
Subject: Calendar and Holy days
Guess I'll take what DG wrote, combine it with what DMogorgon wrote and convert the whole into a nice, neat new table!

Oh wow ... impressive DG!
To answer your question, right now it just changes the monthnames, nothing more. There are multiple reasons for that.
It was easy to do this way! Took me just half an hour or so?
Most people (or at least, I do, and I saw it mentioned in this topic before as well) use the dates like this anyway.
I did not know the exact Harptos calendar, so I couldn't have made it differently to start with
That's not to say that it can't change. If a lot of people prefer the date to be exact, then I'll go and try to work out how to convert this... I don't think it's much more than just a lot of work
I'll go check it out ...

With help from DeathGrowl (thanks, again!) I've managed to alter the calendar to be more fitting to the lore.

dont want to sound like nit picking, but can your other holiday post be made to be in columns with the god they are revered toward and the racial pantheon they are used by.
