This Saturday, June 16th, is Free RPG Day at participating retailers across the globe. Along the lines of Free Comic Book Day, Free RPG Day promises one free role playing game item per customer just for the asking. Many retailers are also holding special events where you can win prizes provided by publishers. Here’s some more info below.
What is Free RPG Day?
Free RPG Day is a day for you to go to your local participating retailer to play new games and get free stuff.
Every retailer has their own version of Free RPG Day, each running the games they want to run.
What they all have in common is free stuff donated to them by all your favorite publishers. It’s a day to play games celebrate the hobby and play games.
Do they really give stuff away?
They sure do. One of the conditions of taking part in Free RPG Day is that they have to give away at least one item to you for free just for asking. It’s up to them what they give away, though. They may well reserve the premium items for those who take part in their event. The idea, after all, is to have a great time. It’s not just to show up and demand free stuff.
