Free RPG Day arrives in less than a week.   There's not a whole lot I really want of the different items available, but I'll try for one of the Pathfirnder or Goodman Games adventures.

Free RPG Day

Good luck everyone!   :)

Probably to tie up loose ends on several crowdfunding campaigns.  The previous two Free RPG LotFP releases were done through crowd funding and they didn't run one for it this year.

Yeah, I seem to recall that James Raggi said at one point (sorry can't find link) that he has too many other projects going on to do the free rpg day this year, such as Broodmother, Towers Two, Cursed Chateau, World of the Lost, England Upturn'd, ref book. Some of those are indeed crowdfunding projects.

I just returned from the FREE RPG Day event, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I played in a Pathfinder adventure (I know, heresy) where all the characters were goblins.  There were some other gamers who played up the chaos which made for a fun couple of hours.  I also was able to snag several choice items.  I was particularly pleased to learn that the Goodman Games adventure is for level 12 players!  While I haven't read the whole thing yet, it looks promising.

And here were some other things I received including an implement of scribing +1 and a wooden die.  I assembled another die just like this, and the pieces really fit together quite nicely.  However, glue is required to keep the pieces together should you desire to actually roll the thing.   8)

I wasn't that impressed with most of the offerings this year---lots of repeats from previous years, and nothing that was really a "stand out/must get" item that really caught my eye.  

That said, I still picked up copies of the Khepera Publishing Atlantis and Hellas quick starts, as well as Through the Breach, 13th Age/Night's Black Agents quick start, ShadowRun/BattleTech quick start, and the Goodman DCC screen.
