Unless you’ve been living in a different reality, you likely won’t have heard of Free RPG Day. The organisation Gaming Days only formed in 2019 to provide Game Stores (like your friendly neighbourhood E.P.I.C. Ipswich), with gaming opportunities, as it stands they only have one yearly global event, the aforementioned Free RPG Day. 2019 was a great year to launch, but unless you lived in a reality where Local Game Stores (LGS) wasn’t affected by Covid-19 or lockdowns, this event likely never reached your ears unless you were part of the 1st Free RPG Day.
What is Free RPG Day?
Free RPG Day is pretty much what it says on the label, its a Day when stores are given content and Role Play Games from some of the largest gaming publishers for FREE to run for their stores.

When is Free RPG Day?
July 23rd internationally, and we are that hyped that yes, we have told you well in advance so you may save the date.
If you are interested in any of these games, please do book in or if you’re wanting to run a particular game, call the store and we will get you sorted.
In either case, I eagerly await a day of fun where I may try out some RPGs (and miniature painting) that I have not tried before.
Your Friend and Ally,
