Free RPG Day 2009, June 20th
2009 marks the third year of Free RPG Day, an occasion not dissimilar to Free Comic Book Day, intended to get people trying out new games and worlds, as well as giving newcomers a taste of the hobby. On June 20th, friendly local game stores all over will offer a selection of free RPG materials to customers and visitors.
The goodies typically consist of short adventures and quick-start kits donated by a variety of game publishers. Past contributors have included White Wolf Game Studio, Goodman Games and Troll Lord Games, makers of fine products all. For a list of this year’s contributing publishers, visit the Free RPG Day site.
While at the site, you can also find a list of participating game stores. If your local establishment isn’t on the list, don’t despair. Many publishers make their Free RPG Day materials available for download a short time after the day in question.
