In Speculative Fiction, it's common to use a different calendar than the real world. This makes it clear to the reader that the story takes place either in another world, or in a version of our world so far in the future that time isn't even counted the same way. This also elegantly sidesteps the problems of Exactly Exty Years Ago.
In fantasy, a popular version of this is to measure time in "moons" instead of months. In some cases, the author will actually have twelve different names of the form "______ Moon" to replace the twelve months of the Gregorian calendar. However, there are actually somewhat more than twelve lunar months in an Earth year. Real lunisolar calendars solve that problem by adding a leap month to certain years; some purely lunar calendars (like the Islamic one) ignore the solar year altogether and just declare twelve lunar months to be a year (resulting in the lunar calendar falling behind 11 days every solar year, making the lunar months slowly rotate through the seasons over the decades, completing one full rotation every 33 years).
When an Alternative Calendar is used to measure the progress of "days", it's common for characters to use Microts as smaller, more manageable units of time. In Sci-fi settings, these calendars are frequently used across multiple worlds, becoming Standard Time Units.
If Alternative Calendar is used in Science Fiction with Earthian years, it may mean that the work takes place After the End or something else that Hit So Hard, the Calendar Felt It or that everybody have Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions and chose something significant for their reference point.
In a fantasy setting, years may be named rather than numbered. Instead of the regular cycle of year names in, for example, the Chinese calendar, these names are always entirely unique, generated by scholars through obscure, and possibly prophetic, methods. Since this is little use for actually calculating how long ago something was, they may have numbers as well.
A common Year One, Day One in science fiction is October 4, 1957—the date Sputnik was launched, thereby beginning the Space Age. The Apollo 11 landing on July 20, 1969 is also sometimes seen. Another Year One is the year Rome was founded, called 1 Ab Urbe Condita. Still another one is a future date, which may or may not be tied to a date in the Gregorian calendar.

In The Elements of Friendship, the Cult of Pi, who worshipped Discord, also used their own system of telling time — their weeks were composed of only five days (Sweetmorn, Boomtime, Pungenday, Prickle-Prickle, and Setting Orange), and their years only had five months (Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy, and The Aftermath), each 73 days long. And the calendar's starting point was at Discord's arrival in Equestria, which was listed as YOLD (Year of Our Lord Discord). All of this is based on the real-life Discordian calendar mentioned below.

Sleepless Domain: The City uses an alternate calendar that labels years with the prefix "C.Y.", which presumably denotes the length of time that has passed since an event known as "the Collapse". The only specific date given is C.Y. 127, but as this date is mentioned in the context of a history lesson, there's no real frame of reference that can be drawn from it — this year might have been a decade, a century, or a millennium before the story begins.

Works in the Bas-Lag Cycle, including Perdido Street Station, The Scar, and Iron Council, use rather bold-faced names for the days, such as Skullday, Chainday, and Fishday. And this is only for the city of New Crobuzon, alone. In the floating city Armada, they have completely different names for months and days of the week.

Homeworld uses four calendars: Kharakian Dating System (KDS), Before Hiigaran Landfall (BHL), After Hiigaran Landfall (AHL), and Galactic Standard Year (GSY). The first three were used exclusively by the Hiigarans, while GSY, as implied by its name, is used by all other races. BHL and AHL are used in the same manner as our BC and AD, except for the use of year 0. KDS started in 1216 BHL, while GSY began in 9510 BHL. Confused yet? If so, then I would not even attempt to read this timeline. Strangely enough (or, more likely, so as not to confuse the players even more), all four calendars have the same length of the year.

The Dragon Age universe actually has multiple calendars. The most widely-used one is the Chantry calendar, which groups time into 100-years Ages, and which starts with the founding of the Chantry. In the year before a new age is set to begin, the Chantry look for portents to determine the name of the upcoming age, with the name reflecting major events that will happen during those hundred years. The title actually comes from the Chantry calendar (they declared the present age the Dragon Age). Years are written in chapter-verse style, since each one is a new chapter in the Chant of Light. Thus, the thirtieth year of the Dragon Age is 9:30, the age started at 9:1 and will end at 9:100. Events prior to the Chantry are said to be in the Ancient Age, with the year given in negative. The Tevinter Imperium has its own calendar that starts with its founding, and the elves have their own calendar that begins with the founding of Arlathan. See here for more info.

Destiny: One of the civilizations destroyed by the Hive was the Ecumene. It isn’t elaborated on, but their calendar measures time in “radial years� and “grooves�, so that the date they declared total war against the Hive was Radial Year 989 groove 3, and the date the war started turning against them was Radial 990 groove 0. It evidently resets at some point, since the Ecumene mentions being in contact with the Ammonite civilization 24,000 years ago, which is obviously much larger than the current Radial Year.

Obduction features a town that was mysteriously teleported to an alien planet inside a protective bubble. Because the new environment has no obvious seasonal cycle, they opted for a system of just counting the days since their predicament started. When the town was renamed in honor of mayor Hunrath, the event also became the zero point of the calendar, so dates can be marked "Before Hunrath" (BH) or "After Hunrath" (AH).

Honor Harrington:
The books count from 2103 AD (Gregorian) as 1 PD (post-Diaspora), the year that the first generation ship left Earth. The events of the books take place in the early 20th century PD (41st century AD). Planets set their years as "Year X AL (After Landing)", with days and months set as appropriate to planetary conditions. This means that a given planet will retain at least two calendars: the "Standard" (PD) year and the "Local" (AL) year. The ones that are part of a multi-planet polity will track the capitol planet's year AL. Yay for computers.
The religiously-founded planet Grayson averts this, using the Gregorian calendar even though it doesn't even remotely track with local conditions. For added confusion, the Graysons use the initials A.D. to mean Anno Domini, whereas in the rest of the universe A.D. stands for Ante Diaspora.
The Kingdom of Manticore itself starts off with 5: Terran, Manticoran (the official one for the kingdom), Gryphon, Sphinxian (the latter two for their own seasons and days), and Medusan. Each additional planet that's added to the Kingdom adds another one.
Nearly every mention of any amount of local years will be accompanied by "XX in T Years" (i.e. Terran years) to make sure we Earthlings have some frame of reference. Justified in this case: because of the kingdom's multiplicity of calendars, you'd expect to see them using a common frame of reference. Those people who have to deal with multiple planets and other nations (with their own calendar systems) are probably routinely doing conversions in their head automatically. You can see the same thing with people who use both metric and imperial measurements.
Since Manticore is a merchant empire, it's extremely common for Manticorans to move to and from different planets, so local calendars are usually of little use to those new nomads. The series being Military Science Fiction, it concentrates mainly on exactly this type of character, so the series generally dropped references to the local calendars and is now written mostly around the P.D. calendar.

In X, year 0 Argon Stardate is 2170 AD, twenty-four years after a Terran warfleet lured insane terraforming drones away from Earth, trapping themselves and the terraformers in the X-Universe. The fleet established their own society (called the Argon, after their leader Nathan R. Gunne), and erased all mention of Earth from their histories to prevent people from inadvertently leading the terraformers back to Earth. The games take place over 700 years later. The Terrans still use Earth's calendar, understandably.

Dark Sun: On Athas, the calendar system is a merchant's calendar that is used by all of the known Merchant Houses to help with trade, which is based primarily on the orbits of the two moons, Ral (11-years to return to the same orbit) and Guthay (7-years to return to the same orbit) which each year for each moon designates a certain word used to define the year (Tyr's Free Year 1 is the 4th year for Ral, designated "Priest", while it is the 5th year for Guthay, designated "Defiance", so it is the Year of the Priest's Defiance). The calendar year is typically broken into 15 months comprised of 5 weeks each 6 days long (30-day months). A rather complex calendar system overall. The actual year numbering is either based on the King's Ages (older system), or since Tyr's revolt (Free Years).

Lyrical Nanoha uses the old and new Mid-Childan calendar, with the new one starting sometime after the end of the Ancient Belkan War, when Magitek replaced physical-based weapons as the standard due to the devastation the latter caused. Interesting in that they also use the regular Earth calendar, thanks to worldhopping. The series began in year 65 of the new Mid-Childan calendar.note A common fan theory estimates that the New Calendar began around 1942 by Terran reckoning, so 0065 NC corresponds to 2006 CE.

Fire Emblem:
The continent of Valentia in Fire Emblem Gaiden's remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia uses a four-cycle calendar that corresponds to the four seasons (known as Flostym, Avistym, Pegastym, and Wyrmstym). As progress of the calendar from one season to the next is tied to how quickly one finishes the act that takes place within a particular season, each season can potentially have hundreds of days within it, although the in-game day tracker stops at 999.
The continent of Fódlan in Fire Emblem: Three Houses weirdly uses the Gregorian calendar, complete with leap year correction, and dated from the founding of the Adrestian Empire. Though the word “month� is used informally, the months are properly referred to as “moons� which are named after important happenings in the world during the month; a month in which aerial migration of wyverns is the main event is called Wyvern Moon, for example. The only major difference is that the first month of the year is the April equivalent (thought only relevant in-lore, for in-game purporses the game numbers the moons in the usual Gregorian order).

Stardew Valley, which takes inspiration from Harvest Moon, uses 28-day seasons. While it does achieve the "years with identical week structures" effect that Rune Factory does without shortening the week, it also means that each year is 8 days shorter than in those two games.

Steven Brust's Dragaera novels use "in the Xth year of the reign of Empress Zerika" (or whoever's on the throne). For more formal dating, they also have a more complicated system of Great Cycles, Cycles, Reigns, Phases, Turns, and Years; each (save "reign") is exactly 17 of the next stage down, and the entire calendar starts with the formation of the empire. Weeks are five days.

Imperium Nova uses a 400-day calendar with ten months to keep things simple. Each galaxy numbers years based on the ascendance of the current Imperial house, which like the Japanese system can make long term dating difficult in certain galaxies.

Eberron: A year consists of twelve months (each named after one of the twelve moons) and a week of seven days, seeming like they just came up with with fancy new names for the months and and days to seem exotic, however the months are only 28 days each, making all characters a couple of years younger in real time than they seem. Interestingly (or not, depending) there was originally one more moon, implying before the appropriate cataclysm the year and lunar cycle used to be much closer to Earth's.

Library War takes place in the year 2019 CE, which is also year 31 of the fictional Seika era (see below on the Japanese era system) — Seika was one of the choices considered for the era following ShÅ�wa in real life, but was discarded in favour of Heisei. This becomes Hilarious in Hindsight when it accidentally predicted the real 2019 as the start of the Reiwa era.

Attack on Titan: Given that the rest of the world is shown to possess early 1900's technology, this is a case of an as yet unexplained calendar, with the story starting in the year 840. Quite what it's been 840 years since we haven't been told, although it's most likely related to when Marley overthrew the Eldian Empire. Nothing else beyond the year itself has been defined either, and it's also unknown if the calendar used in the walls is different to what's used outside them.

In Waterworld, the Smokers speak of "lunars" of time. It's probably safe to assume they refer to lunar cycles. It's not clear if the length of the day or the length of the month significantly changed when the entire Earth was flooded due to the icecaps melting and all but the peaks of the Himalayas sinking under water.

Discworld naturally uses a different calendar, because it's flat and seasons work differently there. Terry Pratchett eventually codified it so that each year was 400 days long, divided into twelve months with four weeks and one with two weeks, with each week having eight days (all with the same name as Earth's, plus "Octeday"). The months are named kind of like ours: Ick, Offle, February, March, April, May, June, Grune, August, Spune, Sektober, Ember, and December. The calendar year begins on the onset of winter on Hogswatch, the Discworld equivalent of Christmas. However, wizards and astronomers, who care about this sort of thing, think of each year as 800 days long, to take into account the way Discworld's sun works, which makes every season happen twice a year; to them, every other Hogswatch is a different holiday called "Crueltide". That said, the system is cobbled together from different mentions of dates in different books, some of which were based on the Earth calendar (like "1784") and some of which were made up (like the "Year of the Diffident Squid"); continuity errors are accounted for by claiming that each part of the Disc has its own calendar system (Ankh-Morpork has restarted its calendar several times in its history). Wyrd Sisters mentions several different calendars used by different countries and kingdoms, including one used by the Theocracy of Muntab, which counts down instead of up — no one's sure why, but most agree it's not a good idea to be around when it hits zero.

Taerel Setting: The Taerel calendar's amount of months is unknown, years are written as XE XXX, the first number (before the E) is the era number. The numbers after that are the year numbers. The Taerel calendar also has "ages" defined by technological progression. Ages have such names as "Stone Age" and "Shattering Age". Before that calendar was Retcon in there was the "B.P.D" calendar, X years Before Present Day. This did run into the problem of "how does it make sense" if you remember one would have to add a year each year that passed to all event dates.

Final Fantasy VII uses Gregorian names for months, but February has at least 30 days. And the number of the year gets reset after each 2000-year Greek-letter "era", so 1999 of the Mu era was followed by 0000 of the Nu era.

Final Fantasy XIV's years are all derived from the Astral and Umbral eras, which are cycles of prosperity and disasters respectively. Some of these eras span thousands of years, while others are relatively short, with the Seventh Umbral Era dates from the unleashing of Bahamut from the Moon of Dalamud at the end of the Legacy timeline, while the Seventh Astral Era dates from the defeat of the Garlean forces by the Eorzean Alliance covered by the events of A Realm Reborn five years later. The months are calculated as six cycles alternating Astral and Umbral Moons, for a total of 12 moons. So the third month would be the 2nd Astral Moon.

In Seventh Endmost Vision, Shinra declared the date of the first space launch to be the start of a new calendar, which was adopted by all territories under its control. It is listed as AS, start date pinned to the launch; notably, while it's supposed to be the Age of Space, it's clear to everyone involved that it really means the Age of Shinra, showing the company's arrogance and pride. Notably, even their own history museum notes that the Western Alliance protested the hell out of the new calendar, and the issue was presumably only settled once the War began.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: The Imperial calendar counts the years from the coronation of Sigmar, an event marking the birth of the Empire (canonically the game is set in 26th century). The year is 400 days long and divided into 12 months with six with intercalary holidays on the Solstices, Equinoxes, the New Years Day and the cursed Geheimnisnacht where the border between reality and the Realm of Chaos is thinnest that changes exact location each year without breaking the lunar cycle outside of that day, while weeks are eight days long. The Empire took this calendar from the Dwarfs after the founding tribes couldn't compromise on any other method. Other nations use similar calendars, usually numbering the years from the founding of respective state (e.g. 977 IC for Bretonnia, 1524 IC for Kislev). And the calendar of High Elves is divided into epochs of variable length, each one referring to the reign of the particular Phoenix King (very similar to the Japanese eras). Wood Elves, Ungols and other nomadic tribes use various lunisolar calendars. On both New Years Day and Geheimnisnacht, both the normal moon and the cursed Chaos moon are always full, on the normal cycle on New Years Day and outside the cycle entirely on Geheimnisnacht. Also Geheimnisnacht isn't a holiday so much as everyone is too busy praying, fortifying defenses and making sure the local graveyards are properly being tended to. The latter is because the dead rising on top of the beastmen and greenskin attacks as they become driven to greater violence each Geheimnisnacht is a bit inconvenient.

SIGNALIS is set in an alien solar system which has been colonised by humanity.
You can find a diary, with the start date of 84-21-6, and the last number counting up. It also goes from day 9 to day A, suggesting that the date is in hexadecimal numbers.
You also find some medical records. All of the patients have dates of birth like "10S 62P a" or "29S 39P b." This is Rotfront style, which suggests that the other planets have their own dates.

Tolkien's Legendarium (The Lord of the Rings etc) has several calendar systems for the different peoples. Used most commonly in LotR, the Hobbits' Shire Reckoning uses a reformed calendar in which the week and the year are synchronized, and hides it behind a Translation Convention. The Dwarves appear to use a different calendar, leading to such things as Gandalf in The Hobbit saying to Thorin "on the twenty-first of April, a hundred years ago last Thursday" when, in the Shire Reckoning, the twenty-first of April always falls on a Friday. Not only did the Hobbits and Dwarves have their own calendars, but so did Elves and Númenorean/Gondorean Men as well. The Númenorean calendar is based on the French Republican Calendar with names of the months translated into Elvish.

Critical Role: Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting includes the calendar used in the Critical Role stream the book is based on. The calendar has eleven months in a 368 day year, with various months spanning 29 or 32 days instead of 30 or 31. The book mentions that the names they use for months and days are the elven names, which are apparently commonly used throughout Tal'Dorei, but regional variants do exist.

Iron Kingdoms: The setting uses a calendar where seven days make a week, four weeks make a month, and there are thirteen months per year. Furthermore, the days are not named, but the weeks are, and the whole thing is based around the cycles of the planet's three moons. Every three years, all three moons are new on the same night, which makes an extra day on the calendar. This 'Leap Day' is celebrated in a festival called The Longest Night.

Exalted uses a dating system starting with the founding of the (second) Realm, and has a rather different calendar inside each year also. The year is divided into 15 months (ascending, resplendent, and descending Element, where Element is one of Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Wood (not in that order)), plus five days of Calibration that are not actually part of the calendar, when spirits are at their strongest and the gods are all partying.
The various different regimes use different calendars, many of which will be in use at the same time in different places. The nominal "start of game" year would therefore be Realm Year 768; 4878 Dawn of Autochthonia; Year 4999 of Our Everlasting Glory and the Year of the Mouse in the Bronze Era of the 11th Epoch the Dragon-Blooded Shogunate.
Being Exalted, it also has an extremely alternative calendar — the Calendar of Setesh, which not only tracks time in the Underworld, it actually cements the concept of time passing in a linear fashion down there.
An interesting detail is that despite having 425 days, each of 25 hours, in the year, a sixteen-year-old in Creation is functionally equivalent to a sixteen-year-old on Earth.

Every clock in Labyrinth has 13 numbers. Whether this is because Jareth gives Sarah 13 hours to solve the Labyrinth or vice versa isn't clear. In the novelization, Sarah wonders if this means that a day in the Labyrinth lasts 26 hours instead of 24.

Parodied in Scott The Woz. Scott hates the fact that first 23 days of December feel like filler, so he moved them back to a new month he dubbed "Bluth", with each day being its own "holiday" (such as "Why Is Scott Wearing That Hat?" Day and National "Shoot, Delaware's a State!" Day). The last six days of Bluth are simply labeled "Empathy."

The Vorkosigan Saga has an alternative fiscal calendar that changes with each Emperor. Thanks to the fact that the Counts officially give the Emperor a "birthday present" of a substantial amount of money instead of doing something as explicitly subservient as paying taxes (which happens to be in the amount that their district would have owed in taxes if they paid taxes), the Barrayaran tax calendar is centered around the Emperor's birthday. This also means that in transition years, the Empire can have anywhere from zero to two tax days in it, depending on the order of the old emperor's birthday, the new emperor's birthday, and the day the old emperor died.

xkcd: In strip #2542 "Daylight Calendar", a new calendar system is implemented in which a "day" is counted as 12 hours of daylight, however long that may be, in order to provide extra time on deadlines. During November, the sun may rise and set as many as three times a "day".

Freelancer measures the years as "B.S." ("before settlement") and "A.S." ("after settlement"), with the arrival of the Liberty to Planet Manhattan as its zero point; days and months, meanwhile, are measured with our Gregorian calendar and our 24 hour days. In the popular Discovery modification, the calendar in House Gallia uses AGS, or After Gallic Settlement.

The World of Ice & Fire clarifies an in-universe misconception — namely, that the Westerosi calendar doesn't actually begin at Aegon's Landing and the start of his Conquest, but the date when he was officially crowned as King of Westeros at the end of the Conquest, which was a couple of years later.

EVE Online:
One of the EVE chronicles discusses how the four empires decided on a common calendar system. They ended up using the Gregorian calendar, and the date of the decision became January 1, year 0. The months of the EVE calendar match up with those in real life. Years are done a little differently; the year of the game's launch, 2003, corresponds with the in-game year 105. 2008 is referred to in-game as year 110.

Super Robot Wars Judgment takes place on Cosmic Era year 70.
Super Robot Wars T takes place in New Universal Era 200. however dialogue within the game, specifically mentioning that Tokyo Tower was built 700 years ago, gives it a rough placement using the Gregorian Calendar of somewhere in the mid-to-late 2600s.
The Super Robot Wars: Original Generation series starts around year 200 of the Space Era or New Common Era depending on which translation your playing.

Foundation's Fear: (Subverted Trope) As noted in the Afterword, how year 1 of the Galactic Era fits in with Anno Domini can be difficult to determine, as Pebble in the Sky establishes hyperspace travel has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, Foundation (1951) establishes atomic power has only existed for fifty thousand years, and Prelude to Foundation establishes R. Daneel as being twenty thousand years old. Since these conflicting dates were impossible to reconcile, Benford chose to simply rename A.D. to G.E., and treat the Trantorian calendar as a continuation of Earth's Western calendar. However, it also renames the months, such as Octdent (October) and Marlass (March).

Done by accident in Elite Dangerous: the in-game calendar is synced up with real-world time, but with 2014 corresponding to 3300 in-game, and as a result the leap years don't match up. This was referenced with a special quest for the leap year day in 2016 (3302 in-game).

The Stormlight Archive: Roshar has a calendar based around the highstorms, since seasons are random and only last a couple weeks at a time. Each year is five hundred days, with the end of the year marked with "the Weeping", two weeks of constant light rainfall and no highstorms except for one right in the middle — though every other year is a Light Year, with no highstorm in the middle of it. Together, each pair of years creates the thousand day cycle of storms which influences everything. This does mean that the characters are older than their stated ages. However, Rosharan days are also shorter than Earth days, so in the end a single Rosharan year is only ten percent longer than an Earth one.

The biggest Dungeons & Dragons campaign settings include some form of alternate calendar. This converter contains most of them.
Greyhawk: The calendar is one of the most well known, even having a Wikipedia article covering it. A year on Oerth is precisely 364 days long with no leap years, due to the "Greyspace" solar system actually being a geocentric system. The calendar year is split into twelve months of 28-days each and four 7-day festivals, which are every three months. Due to this, each weekday always falls on the same day every year. The months follow the lunar cycle of Luna, with the festival weeks following the lunar cycle of Celene.
Forgotten Realms: Faerün was hit with it rather hard. The main calendar is Dale Reckoning (DR), aka Freeman's Reckoning (FR). Present Reckoning (PR) is zeroed at the Time of Troubles. The Roll of Years names years (i.e. "Year of Rogue Dragons") according to the prophecies of the seers Augathra and later Alaundo covering -422 DR to 2163 DR — which at least helps to stitch local numerical calendars together. There are even different versions of this, where the orcs started out the year in a blaze of conquest and by the end of the year had been kicked back into their holes once they'd pissed enough people off. They call that "The Year We Went Too Far". The Forgotten Realms also uses a ten day week (called, appropriately enough, a tenday) and several feast days, holidays, and other events that vary from nation to nation throughout the year.
Eberron: A year consists of twelve months (each named after one of the twelve moons) and a week of seven days, seeming like they just came up with with fancy new names for the months and and days to seem exotic, however the months are only 28 days each, making all characters a couple of years younger in real time than they seem. Interestingly (or not, depending) there was originally one more moon, implying before the appropriate cataclysm the year and lunar cycle used to be much closer to Earth's.
Mystara: A year is 336 days long, allowing for a handy calendar of twelve 28-day months. There is no distinction between the lunar and solar calendars, as new or full moons always fall on the same dates in each year. Each country has its own names for the 12 months; the chief exception is that of the shadow elves, whose year consists of 24-day months, each named for one of their religion's 14 Verses. (Being subterranean, these elves don't need to synch their calendar with celestial events, and keep track of dates only to schedule their religious ceremonies.) Inside Mystara, the Hollow World's stationary inner sun doesn't provide for conventional day/night or seasonal cycles. Rather, dates are tracked by the orbits of the major flying continents.
Dark Sun: On Athas, the calendar system is a merchant's calendar that is used by all of the known Merchant Houses to help with trade, which is based primarily on the orbits of the two moons, Ral (11-years to return to the same orbit) and Guthay (7-years to return to the same orbit) which each year for each moon designates a certain word used to define the year (Tyr's Free Year 1 is the 4th year for Ral, designated "Priest", while it is the 5th year for Guthay, designated "Defiance", so it is the Year of the Priest's Defiance). The calendar year is typically broken into 15 months comprised of 5 weeks each 6 days long (30-day months). A rather complex calendar system overall. The actual year numbering is either based on the King's Ages (older system), or since Tyr's revolt (Free Years).
Dragonlance: People started numbering up from zero after the Cataclysm, so the abbreviation was A.C., anything before the Cataclysm was labeled P.C., and after what is sometimes called the Second Cataclysm in Dragons of Summer Flame, S.C. was used for a while, but was later dropped in official supplements and novels, going back to using A.C.
Ravenloft: Subverted. The calendar works like Earth's, despite the setting's having been cobbled together from bits and pieces stolen/copied from other worlds. The Barovian calendar predominates for the numbering of years, while the names of months would seem to have been imported from Mordent.
Planescape: There are no real seasons, as each plane has different physical laws. Weeks have seven days, and years have 12 months, but their names reflect the calendar of whoever is keeping track. In Sigil, years are often measured by the year an influential Factol has held his position, usually the Factol of the Guvners (seeing as they're in charge of keeping the records.)
Exandria has a 328-day calendar year divided into eleven months, which themselves vary in length anywhere from 27 to 32 days. This leads to a shorter year than Earth's, but the new year begins in the middle of winter, as Earth's does. The different months and days of the week vary somewhat from culture to culture, but most have adopted the Elvish names for them. The years are numbered Post-Divergence, the Divergence being when the gods sealed themselves away behind the Divine Gate and ceased to interact directly with the mortal world, bringing it into its fourth age. The second campaign of Critical Role is set in 835 PD.

Dwarf Fortress has a calendar with 12 months named after minerals, with each month being exactly 28 days long for a total of 336 days in a year. It counts from the start of world's generation and by default the playing time is 250, but can be edited. Additionally, the calendar counts Eras, first depending on how many titans, megabeasts and other of their ilk are still alive in the world, following into varying Eras of mortal races and potentially into Ages of Death or Emptiness if mortal civilizations got eradicated by something.

Cradle Series:
Word of God is that every culture, and in some cases every region, uses an entirely different calendar. Apparently, the heroes pass through at least four different calendar systems in the first few books. This mostly doesn't show up in the text, except for when Lindon is surprised that the Empire counts him as slightly older than his own culture would—his culture counts age from the new year (which is a real phenomenon in some Asian cultures), while the Empire uses Life artists to measure from his actual birth.
In Dreadgod, when an ancient dragon comes out of a Time Stands Still field, he demands to know What Year Is It? in "the Obsidian Calendar." Orthos awkwardly says he's never heard of that calendar.

In Look to the West, the Societist Combine has its own "universal" calendar, since all existing calendars are based on the divisions between different peoples. The calendar counts from Monember to Dodecember, but in a bit of a fudge, Monember is actually March, so that September, October, November, and December can stay the same, but the year still starts in Undecember (January).

In Melanie Rawn's Saga of the Exiles, the year is divided into 36 10-day weeks, each with a name and a patron saint, plus a handful of feast days for a total of 366 days. This replaced a system where every day had its own patron saint. Needless to say, this particular setting has a lot of saints.

Notably, the founding year was designated as Year Zero, and years are generally just expressed as a (possibly negative) number. (1 AD is Imperial year -4520.) The official calendar has 365 days, numbered 001 to 365. Day 001 is a holiday; the other days are arranged in 7-day weeks, with weekdays Wonday, Tuday, Thirday, Forday, Fiday, Sixday, and Senday. There is an official Imperial Office of Calendar Compliance to insure that this calendar is kept up between worlds. Some have said that this doubles as a Secret Police.

The Gundam Wing sequel novel Frozen Teardrop features the first Alternate Calendar within a series: while the Earth Sphere uses the AC (After Colony) calendar, Mars uses the MC (Mars Century) calendar, with years roughly double the length of Earth's. This makes it more than a little confusing as to when exactly Frozen Teardrop takes place in relation to the main series (for the record, MC 0022 corresponds to the early 220s in AC).

Mystara: A year is 336 days long, allowing for a handy calendar of twelve 28-day months. There is no distinction between the lunar and solar calendars, as new or full moons always fall on the same dates in each year. Each country has its own names for the 12 months; the chief exception is that of the shadow elves, whose year consists of 24-day months, each named for one of their religion's 14 Verses. (Being subterranean, these elves don't need to synch their calendar with celestial events, and keep track of dates only to schedule their religious ceremonies.) Inside Mystara, the Hollow World's stationary inner sun doesn't provide for conventional day/night or seasonal cycles. Rather, dates are tracked by the orbits of the major flying continents.

Star Trek's famous stardates, though these are much more complex than most. They also use straight-up AD/BC.
The writers of Star Trek: The Original Series made up stardates as they went along without any sort of linear progression or continuity. Early fans who tried to use them to reconcile episodes' production order and air date order tended to end up as inmates at Tantalus Colony. When an interviewer asked James Doohan how stardates worked, Doohan replied (paraphrasing), "Sorry, even Scotty couldn't figure that out." The writers guide for the series attempts to Hand Wave these discrepancies by claiming "Stardates are a mathematical formula which varies depending on location in the galaxy, velocity of travel, and other factors, can vary widely from episode to episode."
For the three "middle children" of the series (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager), the stardates have some coherency. They range from the 41000s for TNG's first season to the 54000s for the last season of Voyager. Originally, the 4 stood for the 24th century, the 1 stood for the first season, and the last three numbers were given out linearly to the episodes of a season, with the digit after the period representing a fraction of days. Deep Space Nine started during TNG's run and used similar stardates, so the 4 had to lose its "24th century" meaning and the second number lost its season meaning, leaving a seemingly coherent in-universe system: a thousand stardate units equal a year. Voyager continued this, and so did the TNG movies. While this may seem like it makes sense, there are countless contradictions, errors, and inconsistencies.
Notably, this system would place Stardate 0.0 at 1st January 2323 AD... some thirty years after the events of Star Trek VI. Which isn't necessarily a problem, if the Federation changed the Stardate system at some point along the way, like what we know they did with the warp speed scale.
The Deep Space Nine episode "Soldiers of the Empire" reveals that Klingons use a stardate system of their own (day in the year of Kahless). Kahless was the founding figure of their civilization, so it makes perfect sense to them.
Star Trek: Discovery uses a similar system to the original series — that is, four digits plus a decimal place and not much consistency.

In Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations, alongside multiple human calendars including Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Mayan examples, the chapter headings include dating systems from many Star Trek cultures, including Vulcan, Andorian, Cardassian, Klingon, Deltan, Tandaran and Risian. Most of these alien calendars have been plotted out in full by the author in his annotations. Other Star Trek Novel 'Verse books have given dates in mostly consistent Klingon, Vulcan, Romulan and Andorian calendars, but this is probably the first time the entire calendar has been plotted for so many races.

The RuneScape calendar has 365.25 days like in real life but is instead split into 10 fictional months that last from 30 to 40 days. There also exists an "Old Saradominist calendar" which has alternative names for the seven days of the week but is considered archaic and the real-life days of the week are used in-universe instead.

Soukaizan and Seikaizan is stated in the Mashin Hero Wataru Series manual to have different terminologies for their calendars. The date and year counts are written universally in Chinese "upper case" numerical text note The upper case variant is used for contemporary financal documentation as per Wikipedia’s example. The Japanese kanji system uses a form of simplified variety of the upper case., as for months, Soukaizan goes by Eastern Zodiac for their months ("Rat" equals January, and so forth), while Seikaizan goes by something along the lines of astrology, but their pattern wasn't fully elaborated.

The land of Mewni from Star vs. the Forces of Evil seems to have one; in "Mewnipendence Day", Star identifies the eponymous holiday as falling on "the 37th of Gravnogk". The Magic Book of Spells features a list of signs from Mewni's Fictional Zodiac, including their equivalent time-spans in Earth's calendar, which is full of more strangely-named Mewni months.
However, the show isn't always consistent with this. For instance, in "Escape from the Pie Folk", a character in Mewni dates a check with "July 30th".

Every Gundam series except Gundam 00 uses this; indeed, the various calendars are a common way of differentiating between Alternate Universes. Most of them identify the establishment of space colonies in orbit around Earth as the event that made the switch to a new calendar, but in several cases it's an After the End setting that uses the previous disaster as the marker.
As a direct result of Gundam 0079's success with the Universal Century calendar, this trope can also be found in the majority of Real Robot series produced since.
Based on a couple of instances where concrete dates are given in 0080 and ZZ, which reveal that January 14th 0080 fell on a Monday and the UC years that are multiples of 4 are leap years, respectively, it's possible to narrow down the year the changeover happened somewhat. Working backwards 79 years (no official timeline ever mentions a year UC 0000), we find that the calendar changed during a common year starting on a Tuesday, meaning the earliest possible candidate for UC 0001, as of this writing, would be 2019 (unlikely to say the least). Fanon tends to put it sometime between 2047note the last official timeline Sunrise ever published that featured dates in the AD era had 2045 as the last one mentioned, but this is apparently no longer canon and 2081. Of course, this all assumes that no dates were skipped over when they changed the calendar and that leap years are still calculated the same way.
The Gundam Wing sequel novel Frozen Teardrop features the first Alternate Calendar within a series: while the Earth Sphere uses the AC (After Colony) calendar, Mars uses the MC (Mars Century) calendar, with years roughly double the length of Earth's. This makes it more than a little confusing as to when exactly Frozen Teardrop takes place in relation to the main series (for the record, MC 0022 corresponds to the early 220s in AC).
Gundam: Reconguista in G also does this, with the Regild Century replacing the Universal Century 1014 years before the series' start.

The Neanderthal Parallax: The Neanderthals lack agriculture and religion, therefore they use a calendar that isn't influenced by them, following the actual lunar (for months) or solar (years) cycles. Further they measure things by "tenmonths" (295.32 days), "hundredmonths" (8.085 sidereal years) "thousandmonths" (80.853 years) and divide the month by the moon's phases for controlling population growth (with males separate from females during ovulation most times). Decades are still used to denote generations though.

The glossary of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time books states that the world is on the third or fourth calendar since Rand, in a previous life, broke the world. Ten-day weeks also appear at some point, though the first few books used seven-day weeks. There are also months, but most people ignore these and just go by seasons.

The continent of Valentia in Fire Emblem Gaiden's remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia uses a four-cycle calendar that corresponds to the four seasons (known as Flostym, Avistym, Pegastym, and Wyrmstym). As progress of the calendar from one season to the next is tied to how quickly one finishes the act that takes place within a particular season, each season can potentially have hundreds of days within it, although the in-game day tracker stops at 999.

The Reflections of Eterna series is set in a Constructed World that uses a calendar based on 400 years-long Ages, each associated with one of the four elements (four being the Arc Number of the series): the Age of the Waves follows the Age of the Lightning, followed by the Age of the Rocks, the Age of the Wind, and then Lightning again, in a cycle. Historically, each End of an Age, called "Fissure" in-universe, has been accompanied by massive political and social upheavals: for instance, the last time it occurred (the Rocks succeeded the Waves), the millenia-old empire of Taligoia was taken over and rebuilt from scratch into the kingdom of Talig by a charismatic usurper. The series itself opens in the year 399 of the Age of the Rocks, soon to be replaced by the Wind—and there are Signs of the End Times all over the place this time around.

The Elder Scrolls games have a system which is actually our own calendar system, but with different names for the months and days of the week. October becomes "Frostfall", Saturday becomes "Loredas", and so forth. The number of the year is determined by the amount of time since the beginning of that particular Era. Oblivion begins on the 27th of Last Seed (August) in the 433rd year of the Third Era, which began with the unification of Tamriel and founding of the Septim Dynasty and ended with the events of the game. Skyrim begins on the 17th of Last Seed in the 201st year of the Fourth Era, which began following the conclusion of the Oblivion crisis. To make things more confusing, the Eras vary between starting on year 0 or on year 1 (the First and Third Eras began at year 0, the Second and Fourth at year 1). There have also been mentions of different elven calendars (the Eras system is a human one, carried to continental prominence by the three Empires out of Cyrodiil), but none have actually been described (dates have been given in the Dwemer calendar, but without an explanation for what "P.D" stood for or any mentioned event that could be used to synch the Dwemer and Era calendars).

A Song of Ice and Fire is set in the second to third century after Aegon's Landing. The seasons are random in length, but are much longer than the years, making it uncertain what a "year" actually means (probably related to a complete rotation of the sun, our own calendar is measured as such, rather than the passing of seasons). Word of God clarifies that, like on Earth, there's 12 moon turns in a year.
The Princess and the Queen, or, The Blacks and the Greens eventually reveals how Westerosi count months. Months don't appear to be named, but rather called "first moon", "second moon", etc. Months start on the new moon, "when the moon turns", so it seems to be a primarily lunar calendar.
The World of Ice & Fire clarifies an in-universe misconception — namely, that the Westerosi calendar doesn't actually begin at Aegon's Landing and the start of his Conquest, but the date when he was officially crowned as King of Westeros at the end of the Conquest, which was a couple of years later.

Paradoxus: The diegetic calendar is counted in years after or before Domino's restoration. This means that dates are only mentioned when the characters are in the Magix dimension, never while in Azeroth. Dominis have also their own names for each month. The third chapter is the first in which this is done; by contrast, the prologue noticeably lacks it because it's meant to be a mysterious In Medias Res.

Code Geass takes place in the year 2017 a.t.b ("Ascension Throne Britannia"), counting from the establishment of the first Celtic King in the Britannian royal line, rather than the birth of Christ. The EU uses the Revolutionary Calendar, a variant of the French Republican Calendar that sets its first year to 1790, the year after the French Revolution.

Brave New World reckons its time from the completion of Henry Ford's first Model Tnote AD 1908 ("in the year of our Ford"), as part of its satire of the post-Industrial Revolution world. Ironic, considering that Ford himself said "History is bunk," and is quoted as such in the book.

Touhou Project, according to Curiosities of Lotus Asia, has two calendars: the official Gensokyo calendar that measures years as "seasons", starting from 1885 when the Hakurei Barrier was created, which uses the plain ol' Gregorian calendar but with traditional Japanese names (April, May and June, for example, become "Uzuki", "Satsuki" and "Minazuki"). There is also an unspecified youkai calendar, adjusted to natural phenomena like earthquakes or the blooming of bamboo flowers, which takes into account the youkai's extended lifespans, but few youkai actually use it.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy Tactics uses a calendar based on the Western Zodiac. This was changed in the English PSX version to the Gregorian calendar, but kept in the PSP version.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2 has its own calendar, which is the regular one but with different names and twenty days for every month.
Final Fantasy VII uses Gregorian names for months, but February has at least 30 days. And the number of the year gets reset after each 2000-year Greek-letter "era", so 1999 of the Mu era was followed by 0000 of the Nu era.
Final Fantasy XIV's years are all derived from the Astral and Umbral eras, which are cycles of prosperity and disasters respectively. Some of these eras span thousands of years, while others are relatively short, with the Seventh Umbral Era dates from the unleashing of Bahamut from the Moon of Dalamud at the end of the Legacy timeline, while the Seventh Astral Era dates from the defeat of the Garlean forces by the Eorzean Alliance covered by the events of A Realm Reborn five years later. The months are calculated as six cycles alternating Astral and Umbral Moons, for a total of 12 moons. So the third month would be the 2nd Astral Moon.

In Pellucidar, the immobility of the central sun prevents any sort of celestial timekeeping, leading the protagonists to proclaim (unconvincingly) that there is "no such thing as time" at the Earth's core. In fact, time in Pellucidar passes more swiftly for you when you're exerting yourself more. At one point, the hero and his friend were separated and the hero had several weeks worth of adventures: fighting, running, lots of hard work. His friend merely strolled back to their lodgings, so only about an hour passed for him. It's a pity the "I'm not making this up" category has been disabled, because this nonsense deserves it.

The Hainish 'verse has scores of different calendars:
In The Left Hand of Darkness, Gethenians count years backward and forward, with the current year always being year one. The more exact dates are determined by their relation to some historical events.
In Planet of Exile, Werel has a 400 days' lunar cycle and a solar cycle of 60 moonphases. Year, lifetime, what difference?
In Rocannon's World, Rokanan has years twice the length of an earth year (or, rather, the standard year used by the League of Worlds). Some regions use two twelve-month (or however many they have) cycles to make up a full year.

The Ardrana series of freely available online short stories feature the Lanad Calendar. There are thirty days in a month and 361 days in a year, leaving one hanging day, Day of Change, a holiday that doesn't fit into any of those months. The Day of Change is considered both the end of one year and the beginning of the next at the same time. The years count from the founding of the "Third Civilization", details of which have been lost to time.

The Dark Eye has several calendar systems. The most common (at least in the Middlerealm) is one that uses a year of 365 days with 12 months of 30 days each, named after the Twelvegods (Praios, Rondra, Efferd, Travia, Boron, Hesinde, Firun, Tsa, Phex, Peraine, Ingerimm and Rahja). The five days after Rahja are called "Nameless Days" and are dedicated to the Nameless God (you better stay at home during those!). The year 0 can be either the fall of the city Bosparan, the year Emperor Hal (or Reto) ascended to the throne, etc. And that's only for those believing in the Twelvegods.
There is only one god and His name is Rastullah.
Everybody (besides the disciples of Rastullah above) uses the calendar of the Middlerealm, just with other names for the months. And even the disciples of the Onegod observe the Nameless Days.
And that's just the human side of things. Orcs count years of 240 months, 28 days each, Achaz (lizardmen) have weeks of five days and months of 33 days, and so on.

Zigzagged in Disco Elysium. Centuries aren't numbered, but individual years within a century are. Past centuries are instead given a name based on the most significant event which occurred in them, while the present century remains nameless until it passes - thus, the current year at the start of the game is '51. The days of the week and months of the year do line up with the Gregorian calendar, however, with the game beginning on a cold Monday in March.

Exandria has a 328-day calendar year divided into eleven months, which themselves vary in length anywhere from 27 to 32 days. This leads to a shorter year than Earth's, but the new year begins in the middle of winter, as Earth's does. The different months and days of the week vary somewhat from culture to culture, but most have adopted the Elvish names for them. The years are numbered Post-Divergence, the Divergence being when the gods sealed themselves away behind the Divine Gate and ceased to interact directly with the mortal world, bringing it into its fourth age. The second campaign of Critical Role is set in 835 PD.

Warhammer 40,000: The Imperium still uses the Gregorian calendar, but the presentation of years is different: the current year as of this entry in the Gregorian calendar, 2018, would be written as "018.M3". However, the internal workings of the calendar is a bit different than the modern Gregorian Calendar. Take for example December 24th 2018: the using the Imperial dating system, this would be 0979018.M3 . The first number (0) means that the dated event took place in the Sol system, allowing perfectly accurate dating. The more inaccurate that dating becomes, due to distance from Earth and lack of information, the higher the first number will be, up to a 9 where there is no direct or indirect evidence and it is the closest possible approximation according to when the nearest Imperial Astropathic office received the news. The next three ciphers (979) mark the fraction of the year that has passednote although this is only really used in bureaucratic records. The next three ciphers (018) are the year. The ending (.M3) is the millennium.

Etrian Odyssey has twelve 28-day months with names mostly themed after the Eastern Zodiac: Emperor, Dormouse, Taurus, Tiger, Lapin, Uroboros, Serpent, Stallion, Aries, Capuchin, Phoenix, Demiurge, ,and Khrysaor. Curiously, there is a thirteenth month after that, Summoner, that is only one day long, presumably just to add a 365th day to the year. The calendar does not tie into the series' lore; it's mainly just a flavorful way to say how many in-game days have passed since you started the game (after all, something like Lapin 14 or Aries 10 sounds cooler and more conductive to player Fanon than, say, "Day 55".)

In Jack Vance's The Demon Princes, the year zero corresponds to the year 2000 A.D. Therefore the first book taking place in 1524 means that it is really 3524 A.D.
The fact that the new calendar began in 2000 A.D. is only given in a footnote.
A foot note in the 4th book, written after Apollo XI, retcons the epoch from 2000 A.D. to 1969 A.D.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic uses moons as a measurement of time, though it's never specified exactly how long this is. Common Fanon is that, much like other fantasy examples, one moon is equivalent to one month. Granny Smith mentions that it had been "over one hundred moons" since the last Apple family reunion, meaning about eight years had passed since the last one under this theory (assuming the same number of moons as in an Earth year).

In Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which takes place in the late 36th century AD, a new calendar (the Universal Calendar) was started when humanity left Earth and founded the Galactic Federation. The Galactic Empire replaced the Universal Calendar with a calendar counting from the year of its founding; when the Free Planets Alliance broke off, they restored it. Hence the two sides have different time reckonings.

In Survivor Dogs, dogs and wolves count months in moons. So, one month would be "one full journey of the Moon-Dog". A day is "one Sun-Dog journey". The seasons are Tree Flower, Long Light, Red Leaf, and Ice Wind.

The titular planet Safehold has a ten month year with weeks lasting five days and an additional hour tacked on to each day, called Langhorne's Watch, to account for the 25 hour length day compared to Old Terra. Years are a bit trickier. The Safeholdian calendar initially tracked years from the Day of Creation, but less then a century later came the War of the Fallen, which was a Hit So Hard, the Calendar Felt It, and the years started over from zero. This actually causes the protagonists problems after they learn about the impending return of one or more of the God Guise archangels in a thousand years time, because they don't know what starting point the thousand years is counting from.

The MSX Gradius series (a.k.a. the Nemesis trilogy) uses Gradian years, a calendar system which no other entries of the series used at the time. The original Gradius is set in the Gradian Year 6658, which is followed by Gradius 2 (aka Nemesis 2) in the Gradian year 6666 and Gofer no Yabou Episode 2 (aka Nemesis 3: The Eve of Destruction) in 6809. The MSX version of Salamander is also part of this chronology, being set in the Gradian Year 6709. This calendar system would later be implemented into the mainline series with Gradius V, which is set in Gradian Year 8010. The Wiiware game Gradius Rebirth is a prequel to the MSX Gradius 2, being set in Gradian Year 6664.

Andromeda has one calendar system but several reckonings. The base calendar is the Commonwealth Year (CY). Its reckoning is the founding of the Vedran Empire (the precursor to the Systems Commonwealth), nearly 10,000 years ago, when it was known as the Coronation Year. Dates before the founding are described as Before the Imperial Era (BIE). There is a point of correlation: the English translation of Thus Spake Zarathustra (AD 1891 = CY 6811), and it has been stated by Word of God that Vedran years were roughly equal to those on Earth. Then you have the most recent calendar, AFC (After the Fall of the Commonwealth), which has only run for about 300 years (AFC 1 = CY 9787).

Wanderhome dictates campaign play through "the great arc of the year," which is divided into five seasons of two months each, with a holiday concluding each season. For example, the recommended starting season is Leap, the setting's corresponding season to late winter and early spring. Leap's two months are Tillsoil and Monsoon, and the season ends with the Sun Parade. Meanwhile, each year is given its own name, with the starting year being "The Year of the Waterlily," and subsequent year names being up to the players.

In John Carter of Mars, it gets rather more rational treatment: he believes Dejah Thoris has died in The Gods of Mars because it has been a year — but he has forgotten he's on Mars.

The freeware space exploration game Noctis puts the player in control of a cat-like alien creature called a Felysian, and employs the calendar of his civilization. For example the base unit, called epoc, corresponds to about 32 human years, but the smallest unit, the triad dexter (a billionth of an epoc) is "incidentally" equal to a second.

The continent of Fódlan in Fire Emblem: Three Houses weirdly uses the Gregorian calendar, complete with leap year correction, and dated from the founding of the Adrestian Empire. Though the word “month� is used informally, the months are properly referred to as “moons� which are named after important happenings in the world during the month; a month in which aerial migration of wyverns is the main event is called Wyvern Moon, for example. The only major difference is that the first month of the year is the April equivalent (thought only relevant in-lore, for in-game purporses the game numbers the moons in the usual Gregorian order).

In Siren 2, the player can locate a calendar and other materials dated using the Japanese imperial system that begins a new count from the first year of a new emperor's reign. Strangely, all the documents use the "Showa" era, which ended in 1989 (Showa 64) even though some of the game takes place in "present day" 2008 (which in this case would be Showa 83). This should be the "Heisei" era, implying that the game takes place in a world where Emperor Hirohito ruled for at least another 20 years later than in reality.

Foundation:
While the empire that based their capital on Trantor is ascendant, the calendar used across the galaxy is the Galactic Era. Year 1 of the Galactic Era begins over 12,000 years before any of the Foundation stories, and thousands of years in our future.
While the empire that based their capital on Terminus is ascendant, they name their calendar Foundation Era. Year 1 of the Foundation Era begins when they establish the Encyclopedia Foundation on Terminus in 12,069 GE.
Foundation's Fear: (Subverted Trope) As noted in the Afterword, how year 1 of the Galactic Era fits in with Anno Domini can be difficult to determine, as Pebble in the Sky establishes hyperspace travel has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, Foundation (1951) establishes atomic power has only existed for fifty thousand years, and Prelude to Foundation establishes R. Daneel as being twenty thousand years old. Since these conflicting dates were impossible to reconcile, Benford chose to simply rename A.D. to G.E., and treat the Trantorian calendar as a continuation of Earth's Western calendar. However, it also renames the months, such as Octdent (October) and Marlass (March).

Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons:
Most of the games use years made up of four thirty-day seasons. The years themselves count up from the start of the game, which is usually when the player character arrives in town, which is always in the Spring.
The Rune Factory spinoff series takes this one step further by combining Saturday and Sunday into a single day called "Holiday", meaning that every day of the year will always be on the same day of the week.
Story of Seasons (2014) does the four seasons, but has 31 days per season.
In the Wonderful Life games as well as the remake Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life there are still four seasons, but only ten days per season, with no designation for days of the week.

The D'ni calendar from the Myst franchise divides its year (hahr) into ten valleetee (~months) of 29 yahrtee (~days). As the D'ni civilization lived underground and on other Ages will disparate day/night cycles, they had little cause to align their calendar with surface-world days or lunar cycles. Note that the valleetee names translate to "lee one", "lee two", etc, similar to other cultures' "first month", "second month", and so forth.

Star Wars Legends counts dates as "BBY" and "ABY", Before and After the Battle of Yavin, where the first Death Star was destroyed. Mention is occasionally made of the old Imperial Calendar that was used by the Empire, which marked as the zero date the founding of Palpatine's New Era (Empire Day, 19BBY). At one point Luke, doing some historical research, expresses exasperation at each new regime feeling the need to implement a new calendar, which makes pinning down dates more difficult. As for the months, originally the setting used a 10-month calendar where each month had 35 days, with three 5-day festival weeks and three other holidays added to give 368 days. However, in a few later works a 12-month system was retconned in. Some works have a Galactic Standard Calendar based on Coruscant's (the capital of the Republic and later Empire), which had multiple variants, and may account for the discrepancies. Some planets and systems also use their own calendars-Wookiepedia lists about ten or so.

Rifts: Some places use the Gregorian Calendar, but, in North America, the Post-Apocalypse (P.A.) calendar is used. It was established by the Coalition States capitol of Chi-Town some 200 years After the End, and 1 P.A. is the founding of the city. It is used to mark the end of the Second Dark Age, when Humankind began to rebuild civilization. The first book was set in the year 101 P.A, and subsequent Sourcebooks advanced the timeline to 109 P.A, which is 2395 A.D. Gregorian. Months and days appear to be unchanged. Hell, the fluff implies that the Coalition still celebrates Christmas.

EverQuest II takes place in the year 500 A.K. (After Kerafyrm) starting the new calendar after the famous day when the powerfully insane dragon was woken up by mortals and went on a rampage against his own dragon-kind in the original EverQuest. Things get complicated when you try to compare it to the calendar that the first game used: There was none. Each server had its own in-game date, and always fluctuated during downtimes like patches and such. However, it doesn't stop there. During those 500 years between the two games, the Ogres rose up and built a new empire that tried to take over the world. Their own records of the 2nd Rallosian War are recorded in their own established calendar system. Over on the continent of Kunark, the evil Lich Venril Sathir built a new Sathirian Empire, using the ancient Sathirian Calendar themselves. None of these established calendars have any overlapping date of reference to pinpoint exactly when they take place on a universal calendar that the player can reference. This was done intentionally by the developers so they would have some leeway to fit in new events that happened during the 500 year period without conflicting with anything.

The Kesh People in Always Coming Home don’t have a calendar in the usual sense, although they keep track of certain multi-year cycles for the sake of things like wine age.

In an episode of Doug, an extended fantasy sequence involving Quailman has a villain based on Mr. Bone, known as the Rulemeister, wipe out weekends from the timeline, forcing school students to attend school every single day (with no weekends on which to relax on). After Quailman defeats the Rulemeister by dropping a Logic Bomb of sorts on the Rulemeister, Quailman brings back weekends and adds an eighth day, "Funday", to the week, something that the narrator erroneously describes as "slowing down the Earth's rotation".

In The Left Hand of Darkness, Gethenians count years backward and forward, with the current year always being year one. The more exact dates are determined by their relation to some historical events.

Notably, this system would place Stardate 0.0 at 1st January 2323 AD... some thirty years after the events of Star Trek VI. Which isn't necessarily a problem, if the Federation changed the Stardate system at some point along the way, like what we know they did with the warp speed scale.

On Gor each city-state has its own calendar, counting Year X of City Administrator Y's reign or some other locally-important event. To standardize, most city-states also count in years C.A. - Contasta Ar, "from the founding of Ar", the largest city-state. Actual book quote:

The Metroid series uses "cycles" and subdivisions thereof for its calendar system. The only point of reference given is that the Galactic Federation officially formed in 2003 CC (Cosmo Calendar). What relationship, if any, the Cosmo Calendar might have to our own is never even hinted at.

Kingdom of Loathing uses a 12-month calendar in which each month has 8 days. The first day of each month is when Ronald, one of the Kingdom's two moons, is full. The holidays that affect the goings-on of KoL are: KoL-specific holidays, which pop up only on their day of the KoL year; real-world holidays and other observances, which occur when they occur in our year (for example, our Friday the 13th causes things to happen there, even though KoL months don't have that many days to begin with); and parody holidays, which tend to happen both on a specific date on the KoL calendar and on the date of the parodied observance. This occasionally creates interesting scenarios where real holidays and their ingame versions intersect, including one memorable instance where Christmas (or Crimbo, as it's known in game) and the in-game Halloween coincided, or Drunksgiving, where the in-game holiday 'Feast of Boris' occurred on the real-life St. Patrick's Day.

A RimWorld year consists of four fifteen-day "quadrums:" Aprimay, Jugust, Septober and Decembary. Which quadrum corresponds with which season depends on whether you landed in the northern or southern hemisphere.

Dragonlance: People started numbering up from zero after the Cataclysm, so the abbreviation was A.C., anything before the Cataclysm was labeled P.C., and after what is sometimes called the Second Cataclysm in Dragons of Summer Flame, S.C. was used for a while, but was later dropped in official supplements and novels, going back to using A.C.

The Witcherworld knows at least two calendars, human and elven. The world's actual year length appears to be used by the human calendar, while elven year's length appears to be some two thirds of it. Both share equinoxes and solstices as points of reference.

Greyhawk: The calendar is one of the most well known, even having a Wikipedia article covering it. A year on Oerth is precisely 364 days long with no leap years, due to the "Greyspace" solar system actually being a geocentric system. The calendar year is split into twelve months of 28-days each and four 7-day festivals, which are every three months. Due to this, each weekday always falls on the same day every year. The months follow the lunar cycle of Luna, with the festival weeks following the lunar cycle of Celene.

For the three "middle children" of the series (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager), the stardates have some coherency. They range from the 41000s for TNG's first season to the 54000s for the last season of Voyager. Originally, the 4 stood for the 24th century, the 1 stood for the first season, and the last three numbers were given out linearly to the episodes of a season, with the digit after the period representing a fraction of days. Deep Space Nine started during TNG's run and used similar stardates, so the 4 had to lose its "24th century" meaning and the second number lost its season meaning, leaving a seemingly coherent in-universe system: a thousand stardate units equal a year. Voyager continued this, and so did the TNG movies. While this may seem like it makes sense, there are countless contradictions, errors, and inconsistencies.
