[QUOTE="Flynn, post: 3625605, member: 1836"] My son and I visited about four of our FLGSs. At the first, we had arrived before the Free RPG Day coordinator came in (by about three hours) and so we were told to come back later. At the second, we watched a few minis games, shopped around and picked up two modules each. The third one turned out not to be participating in Free RPG Day (I had assumed it would be, but you know how assumptions are). At the last one, the place was more of a minis and toy store, and the owner just set out his stuff, so we cherry picked through the rest of the modules and such, before heading home. No one really ran anything D20, and that's all my son really knew, so when we got home, I whipped out "Sinister Secret of Whiterock" and ran my son through that. We stopped about halfway through it, and will be finishing it up today, but he had a good time with it. :) All in all, I wish the FLGSs had been a bit more proactive or organized, but the purpose of the event has been served in that I was able to take my son from the Basic D&D boxed set into the wide open world of D&D, and have laid the foundations for passing the torch on to the next generation. Yay! Thanks, Free RPG Guys, Flynn [/QUOTE]
