This eBook is about helping you plan, prepare, and GM better adventures. While you can use the information that follows to craft interesting holidays, my main goal is to help you use holidays as the backbone for campaigns, adventures, and encounters. Holidays can be much more than the minor quirk of your game world. With strategic design, as outlined in the coming pages, you can transform holidays into a vital GMing tool to create immersion, realism, and most importantly, more fun in your game sessions.
