As I was going through my research notes from the last year I noticed some common trends in the holidays I researched for Digby O’Flannagan’s Year of Celebrations logs. I have collected these observations into a single document and, for completeness sake, I will release them here for all those that have been following these logs. These notes were also added to the notes section of the collected logs known as A Year of Celebrations: A Year in the Human Lands so if you have purchased that book these notes are redundant but, for those that have bought the individual logs as they came out, this completes the set.
For those that have not read one of Digby’s logs, each product in the Year of Celebrations line chronicles the traditions and histories of a collection of holidays found throughout the land. Additionally, further annotation is provided by Digby in the form of advice for performers and merchants. For the more scholarly (read: Game Masters) I have provided a collection of notes giving advice on how to use the presented holidays in your game and several plot hooks for each holiday.

Were back finally with another Faire and Con Report. This weekend our roving pirate reporter mum will be attending the Maryland Renaissance Festival. As always this faire is set during the reign of King Henry the Eighth and every year features a story about his reign. This year Henry is celebrating his 35th year on the throne by planning for the future of his monarchy. Henry plans to wed his son to the infant Mary Queen of Scots but first he must convince her mother of the arrangement. This faire is always one of our favorite faires and this year is sure to be no different so if youre in the neighborhood come out and see it.

With another All Hallows’ Eve upon us, your friends here at Healing Fireball Publications have dug their way out of the grave to bring you a special treat. Or is it? Well, that would be up to you, as below we present two free bonus products to be enjoyed on this, the spookiest night of the year.
So, what’s it going to be?
If you enjoyed this little surprise then why don’t you take a look at Ebenezer Killjoy’s latest rant The Sages Must be Crazy: Tricky Treats? This newest treatise from our noted humorless mage targets those that would pervert sweet treats into devilish tricks and contains a collection of 7 candy-themed spells and 10 sweet alchemical and magical items. So don’t miss out and trick your party tonight. It’s time to lighten up your world a little because the sages must be crazy.

Clawing its way up from the grave like a hungry zombie, Healing Fireball Publications lurches free of the scythe of death and returns with a vengeance. It has been a full year since I last posted on this blog and almost a full two months since we posted a new product. A lot has happened to this company in that time and I do apologize for the missing Faire and Con reports but unfortunately we were not able to make many faires this summer. I shall hopefully recap the few faires we attended and other interesting happenings in later belated reports.
But now on to the update: with Halloween approaching, we fittingly shamble back to life with a candy and mischief-themed product The Sages Must be Crazy: Tricky Treats. This latest lighter-side-of-gaming product concentrates on candy and sweet-themed spells and items with a mischievous twist. Additionally, watch for our Halloween bonus products, free on this site: each one contains items that can’t be found in any of our other products.
Additionally, we will be continuing the Two Bit Tables collection of mundane encounters by environment, with locations like swamp and jungle coming. I am still fine tuning that collection of religious-themed Just Add Dice books and will have them out soon. Finally, watch this site for more free bonus items in the months to come. Roaring back to life with a vengeance, your friends at Healing Fireball Publications.

As anyone who has followed this blog is aware a large part of what made my posting and publication schedule so sporadic is that I was in the final stages of work on my doctorate in molecular biology. Well I am proud to announce that I succeeded and am now Dr. Chris Baldi. However with the completion of this degree also came the end of my job as a researcher and I had to scramble to find new employment. After a month of unemployment I was finally able to get a post-doc position with a lab in Madison, Wisconsin. So this meant that I had to pack up our life, find a new apartment and move across the country in a very short time. So the last few months were spent in a hectic search for an apartment, a frenzy of packing and then an explosion of unpacking that we are still recovering from. However, the good news is that once I dig out from under my pile of junk and games I should have more time to devote to Healing Fireball Publications once again. Hopefully this means that my posts will become more regular. I would like to take this spot to thank all the fans and friends of Healing Fireball Publications for sticking with us and being patient through this last hectic year.
