foundryvtt-simple-calendar VS dae

We use the following in our Blades game -- Chat Images [Link] -- Chat Portrait [Link] -- Dice so nice [Link] -- Multilevel Tokens [Link] -- Show Art [Link] -- Simple Calendar [Link] -- Safety Tools - This is custom make for us -- Token HUD Wildcard (fix) [Link] -- Universal Battlemap Importer [I think this related to a map making program] -- Weather Control [Link]

I would start at the github page for the plugin: https://github.com/vigoren/foundryvtt-simple-calendar

Integrate it with something like Simple Calendar if you want to combine it with a larger time system.

foundryvtt-simple-calendar - Simple Calendar is the ultimate timekeeping module for FoundryVTT that works with all game systems! It comes prepackaged with many preset calendars to get your world up and running quickly. Or if you have a completely custom-built calendering system for your world, Simple Calendar can handle that as well!

Simple Calendar

I was going to report the bug, but it looks like it's already been reported, so it should be fixed at some point. Which doesn't help you much now, but at least it's on the dev's radar.

Just showing these costs would be cool, but maybe you could also take a look into integrating it into a module like Simple Calendar to mark the days when it has to be paid on a calendar and add a button to pay it, adding up otherwise (dont quite remember how that is handled in the source book). I mean it was really just an idea, if you were looking for more features people miss.

Day Night Cycle automatically changes the lighting levels to reflect the time of day based on the time in Simple Calendar.

Not sure when/if calendar/weather is getting updated. I'm using Simple Calendar and Small Time, which gets me most of the same function in some form, except for weather. Looks like Active Auras is already updated for 8.6, though I haven't tested it.

I've moved over to using About Time with Small Time and Simple Calendar.

By using the Dynamic Active Effects and Active Token Effects modules, you can achieve this (pictures).

DAE - This module modifies how active effects behave over and above what is supported in core. An active effect allows you to modify values on an actor (e.g. Strength). You can create effects directly on an actor or create them on an item and have them transfer to the actor when the item is added to the actor.

This definitely looks like a bug to me. I'd open an issue for it over on Tim's Gitlab for DAE

Dynamic Active Effects

These modules are almost entirely redundant in a game that uses tposney's Midi QOL and DAE. The top of the line module lineup for automating combat in dnd5e is absolutely dependent on these two. They are extremely powerful, versatile, and complex. I've used them in the past and would recommend them in a heartbeat for GMs who are interested in going down the rabbit hole of high-automation 5e games.

Bless can be added using Dynamic Active Effects and should be auto-configured within Dynamic Effects SRD (I believe there are also macros for this in FVTT Community Macros as well which allow you to toggle bless on/off)

Further to my previous comment, looking at the DAE documentation:
