Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragon Snack" data-source="post: 3626673" data-attributes="member: 9810">I had planned on visiting both of the LGS with Free RPG Day stuff going on, but only made it to one of them.  I got up late and then I had people calling me all morning to shoot the breeze (including one of my players who had gone to the big LGS tp pick up Aces And Eights, but hadn't seen any of the Free RPG Day stuff).When I made it to the big LGS (it's closer), I couldn't find anything from the Free RPG Day either.  It turns out you had to play a demo to get something.  I was going to take off since most of the stuff was already halfway through demos, but I ended up talking to one of my old players who was running Hollow Earth and he talked me/begged me/assumed the sale into playing his demo.He was going to have us make up characters, but we ended up just using the pregens in the book to save time.  I went with the Pacifist Priest, since I would never play a pacifist in an actual campaign.  The other players went with the Dying Rich Guy and Mad Scientist.  I didn't have dice, so I borrowed some of his.  I used his weird 10-siders that I always wondered why he used (they are big and bulky) and soon realized they rolled REALLY well (hmmm).Actual play was OK, nothing that made we want to run out and buy the system, but I might play in a campaign if someone ran one.  My pacifist was surprisingly effective thanks to all the skills the character had (the die rolls didn't hurt either).  We ended up accidentally (well, the Mad Scientist said it an accident) blowing up the item we were looking for (Oops), but it took out the BBEG as well.While we were playing one of the employees was bragging that he had sold 2 copies of Aces And Eights (didn't have the heart to tell him that my friend was probably going to return his copy).  After game I realized that NONE of the modules I wanted was left (Paizo may have theirs available as a pdf, but I'm not a fan of pdf's), but the cool thing was they let us choose from a bunch of back stock they had.It was getting late at that point and the next LGS running Free RPG Day stuff was a half hour away, with no guarentee of them having what I wanted, so I called it a day.  I guess I can't complain too much about having to play a game to get free stuff, but I would rather they had run it more like other stores have run Free Comic Day.</blockquote>
