Free RPG Day

[medievaladventures]

I searched the forums and looked on the site, but I couldn't find what products were shipped to retailers for Free RPG Day. The Free RPG Day site just says "Conan or Runequest Product". So, what did you guys end up sending to retailers for this event?

Oh it's this Saturday isn't it!!

Do I cancel my game and go play freebies or do I keep my game... hmm..

Sounds good, I'm probably going to miss it since I'll be on vacation in Winchester, Virginia and don't know the local game stores

I think you should pick up some free RPGs and share the love to your British brothers.

Stop the Presses! I just checked the participating stores and found one in Winchester VA. CHA-CHING!

My wife is SO going to kill me for abandoning her with my family reunion.

EDIT

Just found out a shop near me is, woooo, tis gonna be cool

 

[medievaladventures]

Free RPG site now says "RuneQuest Scenario".

I might get slain for this, but I can't wait to get my hands on the Castles & Crusades Quick Start rules. ^^ It's like being able to play a good old school game of D&D without having to pay WotC any money. woohoo!

Has anyone already participated in one of these Free RPG days? How's it work? Just show up and pick one of the items you would like or can you choose multiple items? Is it frowned upon to choose more than one even if the store offers multiple items? What's the Free RPG etiquette?

 

[nezeray]

I think this is the first year. I would assume that you get one item. If you could get multiples, they'd be out of free stuff in the first hour.

[medievaladventures]

I'm assuming you can get 1 copy of each item. Each store is supposed to have 100 copies of each item. However, it's the first year so I guess we'll find out this weekend how it all works.

sounds very strange, very cool, but very strange.
Nice to know we have locals joining in here in the UK!
