Free RPG Day is one of my favorite events of the year. It helps spread the word about roleplaying games, gives new players a chance to try out games for themselves, and it supports local game shops. It’s a win-win all around.

This event means even more to me because, for the last two years, a game I’ve created has been included in 9th Level Games‘ flagship Free RPG Day publication, Level 1.

Each year, the Level 1 anthology has a different theme. Last year’s was programming, and this year’s was How the West Was Lost.

And although Free RPG Day has sadly come and gone this year, you can still check out this year’s Level 1 Anthology and download it for free!

I highly recommend checking it out. The absolute variety of games and play styles inspired by that simple spark of inspiration — How the West Was Lost — shows the versatility of roleplaying games as well as the immense creativity of game designers in the community! I’m proud to once again be included among those eclectic and talented folks.

And if you’re feeling generous, you can pick up a PDF containing all five editions of the Level 1 Anthology for just $9.99!

All the proceeds from this treasure trove of gaming fun will go towards the Level Up Fund, a charitable endeavor intended to grant game designers free use of 9th Level Games’ Polymorph game system, encouraging creators to continue creating games all year round!

Either way, please check out the links above. I mean, whether you plan to donate or not, who can say no to free games, am I right?
