i haz the phat lootz.

but i'm missing out on C&C Druid's Lament freebie. anyone know if it's good?

One of my friends came away with 3 books, 5 dice AND the freakin'  meeple dice tower and the tower was not even his first pick, but since no one else wanted it...

No, Free RPG Day is not a big, widely know thing, around here.

I wish I could have gone and grabbed that Castles & Crusades adventure. I'll have to watch ebay, I guess.

We had the stuff at my FLGS, but people really came out to game: 2 Pathfinder Society games, 1 Call of Catthulhu, 1 Dungeon World, and 1 Supers! Revised game (run by yours truly). All five games were full (5-7 people per table), so it was a big hit, I think.

I trooped over to the east side of town --with the kids as willing participants-- to one of the two game stores participating.

It was early afternoon when we arrived, and the pile of freebies was pretty decimated. The Paizo, Troll Lords, Goodman Games, and Lamentations offerings were already gone, and the gaming tables were packed. Gateway Games even had Free RPG Day cookies on hand from the bakery a few storefronts down, which the kids scored.

The kids picked up the 13th Age offering, the Mage the Ascension game, and Godsfall booklet. I grabbed a copy of Mesozoic Mayhem, because my wife is a Paleontologist, and a "choose your own adventure" book featuring time travelling dinos is right up her alley.

Gateway is a small shop, and tables take up half of the space, but the place was full with people playing and browsing the stacks. I made a point of buying a couple of items while there --no Mongoose Traveller like I'd seen there last year-- a copy of FATE Accelerated for the kids to beat on and a copy of the Doctor Who RPG for them as well.

Based on what I saw, Free RPG Day was well received over there at Gateway Games.

I couldn't make it to Game Empire in Pasadena which was hosting RPG events for Free RPG Day, but I dropped by Emerald Knights in Burbank which was doing CCG demos instead. I noticed their RPG section had been hacked to bits compared to when I was there last year, mostly shoved on the bottom shelf out of sight.

Even though they had piles of free stuff, they limited the few people who came for goodies to 2 picks each. I was going to grab Godsfall, but its mostly just the same info you can find on their website. Instead, I grabbed the 13th Age adventure and the new Shadowrun Quickstart that has the Mechwarrior Quickstart in the back too.

Not just Las Vegas but the entirety of Nevada.
No cake for us.

We don't even have gaming stores here, much less Free RPG days.

Of course, for me, just about every other week is "free RPG day"...
