Free RPG Day is available to any game store throughout the world. We have many stores outside of North America that participate. We send out the announcement to a large list of stores...including those in Asia. Unfortunately, participation is up to the store. Either way, we are sold out for...

Well, we have opened up Free RPG Day 2009 for retailers to sign up. This is the part where you, the consumer, come in to help. Most stores signed up because YOU walked into their store and told them you wanted them to participate. Please continue that this year and you can get your hands on the...

Curt, You're definitely getting the event next year...and I already know how I am going to fix the lack of items problem for you guys...just like I know that retailers will most likely buy two boxes instead of one to cover the traffic! :) Best, Aldo

Curt, Glad to hear the day went well...the dice were a "thank you" to the stores though...in the end, if you need more, contact Chessex, they can make you a whole bunch...though not for free. Best, Aldo

I forwarded two consumer requests for Sci-Fi City in Orlando, but they never responded to me. I think it ends up being that some stores just did not want to spend the $30 and thought the money spent would not be worth it...maybe if I get WotC on-board for next year more stores will find it...

OK...this is funny...I did an email search to find you and I did and reread my response to you about the 4 stores you suggested to me...I now see who you are talking about! :lol: And you also said you discovered a new store...you should let me know how it goes for them! Best, Aldo

Well, I checked their site and all my payment information... Their site does not have the event listed... Also, there is one PayPal payment that came from a "person" (not a store or business) from Asheville. I have an email to them on 2/6/07 and 3/21/07 asking for their store's information as...

Well, I am sorry to say, but there is nothing more I can do...two publishers did not send stuff and others sent us less than promised. It was out of our hands...cutting things off was the only fair thing to do because for every store added beyond the 300 cutoff point would reduce the "per box"...

Sorry my friend, but Saturday is by far the biggest traffic day for stores so it will be on a Saturday every year. Best, Aldo

Who is your store? Let me know so I can check on it...I don't have any stores in NC that have contacted me about not getting their stuff or anything of the like. Best, Aldo

I can tell you that EVERY consumer that contacted us about wanting their local store on the list, go a phone call and/or an email from me making sure they knew they had interested consumers...I can tell you there were some store owners I spoke with that vehemently did not care and treated me...

Well, we hope it grows to more stores next year, but chances are it will not get to the 800+ store level that Free Comic Book Day is at. And yes, stores had to pay $30 for the box...which is actually too cheap I am finding out for this year. Even though the actual shipping was only ~$10 a...

...and that was to alleviate consumers who do not have local stores...We only required that the publishers participating hold off giving away their free product in other venues until the day after Free RPG Day...so, on Sunday the 24th, publishers can do what they want. Best, Aldo

Next year! It was just that it was the first attempt at doing this so we did not want to screw something up on a global scale. Keeping it to the U.S. gave us a better handle to see the good and bad (and we're still wondering about the good and bad as the event is this Saturday!). There is...

We had a ton of consumers contact us directly to get their local store on-board...In the end, it is the store's choice whether or not to pay the $30 for the box of freebies. I am truly sorry that your local store did not join, but for 2008 we will have a whole year to promote it and hopefully...
