Free RPG Day

Last, but certainly not least, Free RPG Day is this Saturday, June 21st.

The concept behind Free RPG Day is simple. All over the world (but mostly in the United States), local game shops, hobby shops, and other outlets team up with RPG publishers to distribute new, fresh, and most importantly, free material for all sorts of different roleplaying games, systems, and settings.

Explore the world of roleplaying games at your friendly local game shop and pick up some game quickstarts and free swag along the way!
