There is only one store participating in the Phoenix area, and it is all the way across the valley from me. Bummer.

You're better off than me.
There are no stores participating in South Florida that I could find at all.

Central FL has a couple

Now, in the midwest, the closest is about 100 miles away

In Maine. The lookup tool doesn't even bother giving me an answer.

It is what it is. Got a place or two in my town, but they aren't in the program. Might have a chat with the owners to see if they are interested in joining for next year.

I'm stuck on-shift and can't even get out to Free RPG Day. Bummer.

I've got a local store doing it, but I haven't been able to make it out there yet and last year they made you buy something like $25 bucks worth of gaming books to get any of it. Which I get, it's supposed to encourage you to support the store, but 99% of my store's gaming book selection is either D&D stuff I don't want or Pathfinder/Starfinder stuff I already have, so I had to really dig through the bins and got some map tiles. (And even then the guy at the register said it had to be specifically books, and I had to talk him into letting the map tiles count.)

Snagged both of these and last year's Starfinder too!

Managed to hit Athoria on lunch and they still had copies!

Can anyone tell me if the pregens have little biographies? I’m curious about them as characters.

Yep, each one has a few paragraphs about them.

I don’t suppose you’d be willing to summarize those at all, would you?

SoT #4 mentions that one worships one of the Old Sun Gods, which made me perk up.

That would be:
Ufi, who worships Tlehar. He's on the cover of the book, wearing the beaded necklace. Big on simple pleasures and loves the farm life. He found the necklace while collecting wood, and discovered the object is sacred to Tlehar. A passing pilgrim proclaimed Ufi was blessed by the goddess and destined for something big, so Ufi reluctantly left his village behind to learn more about what Tlehar has planned for him.

Now that I think about it...free rpg books are free, right? Can I just post the pregens' backstories here as excerpts?

By the way, both these adventure look really fun — thanks for the goodies Luis, Jabari, Lyz and Landon! Can't wait to run these with my group!

Strangely, my FLGS got the Pathfinder adventure, but not the Starfinder one. At least that's what they said. I hope it will be available here later on.

Forgot to do this:

Dragon Parlor Games was the only Eastern Washington FLGS supporting Free RPG Day.

They had a wide selection of items, displayed in an open area for ease of pursuing.

Meanwhile the free Pathfinder Adventure was being ran between 12PM thru 5PM. The Starfinder adventure is planned to run today.

They also had the newest books available too. Guns & Gears in both additions and the Grand Bazaar.

All in all a wonderful experience for a first timer at their store!

Portland, Oregon.

All the FRPGD stuff was spread out across three tables. You had to roll a d20 to determine which table you could select from. If you rolled poorly (and who here doesn’t) you couldn’t pick from the Path/starfinder table. If you rolled well (and who here does) you had to choose between the Pathfinder & Startfinder modules.

I drove across town to the OTHER participating gamestore and nabbed them both.

Good thing I saved that Hero Point...

I’d love to read, if you could spare them!

Just so folks know, the adventure will be available here on Paizo's site 30 days after free RPG day. So they've said November 19. I'm assuming it will be free like in previous years but Aaron mentioned selling in his post so I'm not sure.

The PDF will be free, you’ll have to pay for the physical copy.

Thanks again for your support of Free RPG Day, Paizo! I was able to go for the first time in years (with two little ones in tow) and Paizo and Goodman Games definitely led the pack this year!

When will this be reportable. I received the chronicle sheets and reporting from from my RVC and was able to get a table off for Free RPG Day itself. I would like to be able to report the event.

Hi there,

I have temporarily shut off the reporting for these adventures until their public release next month. If you missed the window to report the game (which was open for about a week), please email me at organizedplay[at]paizo[dot]com with the information and I'll get it reported for you!

Thank you very much


So we can get the free PDFs this coming Friday.

That would simplify printing out the pregens for actually running these adventures.
