Caves of Qud uses an idiosyncratic system of measuring time. The base measurement the game uses is referred to as a TimeTick(also referred to as game ticks in this article). Each TimeTick can be generally considered to be an ingame turn at 100 [[quickness]]. | Caves of Qud uses an idiosyncratic system of measuring time.

Years are separated into two separate eras: BR (Before [[Resheph]]) and AR (After [[Resheph]]). These two are separated by the year that [[Resheph]] resigned as the last Sultan. Like the real life equivalents BCE and CE, years in BR count backwards, so 60 BR is later in time than 100 BR. | Years are separated into two separate eras: BR (Before [[Resheph]]) and AR (After [[Resheph]]).

PP is an alternate era name used in {{favilink|Frivolous Lives, Vol. I}}, which denotes the rule before the 6 sultans. Like BR, the years in PP count backwards. The author denotes PP as "prior [to] publication". The specific year in which Frivolous Lives was published is unknown, but since it references Abram I as ruling from '100?-97?' prior to publication, this places it around 1000AR, since Resheph and Abram were contemporaneous. | PP is an alternate era name used in {{favilink|Frivolous Lives, Vol. I}}, which denotes the rule before the 6 sultans.
