I’m well aware that this upcoming Saturday is Free RPG Day. I’m also well aware that I have to work this Saturday (which is odd for me), so I probably won’t even have a chance to hit a game store at all, let alone in time to pick up any free goodies. Ah well. Such ...
For the past few years, I’ve participated in Free RPG Day as a collector and reviewer of materials. I’ve done this for the past five years, and reviewed almost everything (I fell short last year) I collected each year. It didn’t happen this year. *sigh* I was evacuated from my home due to the Black Forest ...
Happy Free RPG Day! Enjoy it! I am late on the Friday Five by a couple of hours. I received word this evening that I could return home after the Black Forest Fire was at 30% containment. There is still tons of work that has to be done in order to stop the fire from spreading and ...
One of the items I picked up from Petrie’s Family Games for Free RPG Day 2012 was the Map of Harn. The front side of the poster-sized paper is a suh-weet map of the island of Harn. I’ll admit that I’ve never played in the realms of Lythia before even though I own quite a ...
I’m finally going through the loot I picked up at Petrie’s Family Games last month. Life has settled back down to a state of semi-normalcy. I’ll be posting two reviews per week until I’m through the materials. That gives me 4 1/2 weeks of posts. I have eight physical items to review, and I’ve managed ...
I ran by Petrie’s this morning and managed to come away with the following items: A Time of War: BattleTech RPG/Shadowrun Quickstart flipbook Cosmic Patrol RPG Quickstart Harn setting material with world map Conspiracy X Quickstart & Adventure Warhammer 40K Roleplay Only War Adventure, “Eleventh Hour” Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG Quickstart & Adventure ...
Free RPG Day is coming up soon! Oh. Wait. It’s tomorrow! If you haven’t found an FLGS to assist you in acquiring some wonderful freebies, then head here. If you’re not sure what’s being given away, you can check the main Free RPG Day site, and the front page has a list of materials you can ...
I hit my FLGS today and picked up a copy of Arcanis for my RPG collection. I reviewed the Free RPG Day offering here, and I was so incredibly impressed by the work I found in the free book that I picked up the full RPG today. I wanted to get it earlier, but finances ...
How was the overall offering for this year’s Free RPG Day? Very excellent, I must say. The highest grade was A+ and the lowest was C-. A good range and none were failing scores. Most of the books from this year received at least an A- or higher. Here’s the breakdown of the final grades ...
At 64 pages in length, this is a tome for a freebie! When I first picked it up, I thought I had two copies in my hand because of the thickness and weight. When I realized that it was a single offering from White Wolf, I was quite happy to have it in my pile ...
