WOWEE! Yup. That’s all that needs to be said about that. International Free RPG Day was a spectacle, to say the least, it was a phenomenal turnout!
Now whilst I, unfortunately, couldn’t be in attendance or even video call in due to personal reasons, I have heard nothing but praise from patrons and nothing but groans of caffeinated Game Masters being mentally drained from running RPGs all day. One thing is for certain Game Masters – YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB!
Whilst I’m not a detective, I may have heard a rumour that a quarterly RPG day is being considered for EPIC Ipswich to hold more often. Seriously, that’s how popular Saturday was. Jon (who ran many a game of Call of Cthulhu on Saturday) is launching a permanent game day for Call of Cthulhu on Saturdays moving forward.
What Games were run?
Free RPG Day was split into 4 time slots with multiple games per slot:
10 AM – Cyberpunk Red, Call of Cthulhu, Iron Kingdoms and Tavern Hop
1 PM – Call of Cthulhu, Three Wizard Conundrum and Starfinder
4 PM – Call of Cthulhu, Iron Kingdoms, Tavern Hop, Pathfinder and Epic Encounters
7 PM – Cyberpunk Red, Call of Cthulhu, Iron Kingdoms and Starfinder
Our favourite out of context quotes from the day
And now for your amusement, here our some of our favourite quotes from the day!
“I have a sharp pointy thing hanging out of me”
“Great, they’re mercenary assassins, this is gonna be good”
“I TRY TO TOUCH THE MOON!”
“How was breaking the roof so useful?”
“Watch as he kills an old man using his dead son”
“I have a penchant for blunt honesty – that kid could do better than you”
“Like you? oh, so a middle age man.”
“You’ve got six arms, surely one of them can reach!”
“People need to stop jumping in holes right now!”
“Why am I always the one that the tentacles love?”
“It’s fresh from my urine today”
Thank you
Lastly, we need to do this. It is more than owed. We had Game Masters sleeping on the couches, coming in late Friday to set up, and even some calling in sick to work the next day due to being so tired. Game Masters, honestly we cannot repay the amount of effort you put into the day to make it worth it – we can, however, say thank you. As I mentioned at the start of this article, we heard nothing but amazing feedback from the day and requests to keep playing. Your work was more than appreciated.
Free RPG Day will return in 2023, you won’t want to miss out, until such time, we have plenty of RPGs to satiate your thirst for roleplay.
Your Friend and Ally,
