[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 6323347, member: 13732"] It was my perspective, possibly flawed, that Free RPG Day has some fatigue in the SF Bay Area. I checked the retail locator and found the 2 most likely places I would go to were Games of Berkeley and Black Diamond Games. Anything else required a navigational aide or paying a toll. In previous years Endgame in Oakland and d20 in Alameda participated, but I believe Endgame doesn't think the cost-benefit is worth it. In the past I might have used Free RPG Day as an excuse to visit new game stores or places I don't ordinarily hit, but not this year. Since I got a late start, I decided to drive to BDG first, since that's out in Concord. I got there to find most of what I wanted was gone, but I picked up the Lamentations of the Flame Princess product and the Goodman Games weird multi-product thing that I still haven't really bothered to do more than flip through. Then on my way back I stopped by GoB. I got there around 5 pm and by that time either they had given everything out or it was hidden away behind the counter or down in the basement. The only reason I even suspect there may have been something was due to a sign on the counter with something about a Free RPG game being run earlier/later, (plus the aforementioned retail locator). I didn't bother to ask because when I looked for the one thing I wanted to buy, the Paizo condition card deck, they didn't have a copy. If I'm going to buy it, I'll get it at Black Diamond. [/QUOTE]
