Also look at <a href="https://www.freecomicbookday.com/Article/238377-Full-Line-Up-of-Free-Comic-Book-Day-2020-Comics-Announced" target="_blank">Full Line-Up of Free Comic Book Day 2020 Comics Announced!</a> ; Archie, Power Rangers, My Little Ponies, Legend of Zelda, Stranger Things, Batman, Little Lulu, Mean Girls, the Tick, Asterix, the Loud House, Blade Runner, Street Fighter, and Naruto. To no one on this forum does nothing on that list ring a bell, and it would be hard to find a reader here that did not recognize most of them and didn't consider themselves a fan of at least one. That extends to most Americans; there will be something that attracts them.On the other hand, of the list above, there's Pathfinder and Warhammer 40K. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of users on a comic book forum had heard of none of the lines stuff was being given away for; in some ways, the "we're legally distinct from Stranger Things" product would garner the most recognition. (Note that Free Comic Book day has an actual Stranger Things product.) There's no D&D or even 5E SRD stuff, so only Warhammer 40K would attract any recognition from someone who stopped playing ten or fifteen years ago, whereas if you haven't hit 95 years old, at least something in the comics list was from your childhood. Free Comic Book Day, at some level, targets virtually everyone. I'm not sure Free RPG Day successfully targets most current roleplayers, much less promises to bring in new people.</blockquote>
