Three dice rolls in, my character had already tried (and spectacularly failed) to bribe a goblin guard with a stale biscuit.
Pretty standard start to Free RPG Day at Games Haven.
So did Why FreeRPG Day Reminded Us Why We Love This Hobby, well because.
Last Saturday, we threw open the doors, pulled out all the tables, and let the community do what it does best. Tell stories, roll dice, and create absolute chaos in the best possible way.
The thing about Free RPG Day is that it is not just about the free swag or the game systems on show. It is about that spark when a table of strangers sit down and, within minutes, they are plotting daring rescues or brewing potions of questionable legality.
It is about the new player who shyly asks if they can join a session, then three hours later they are loudly narrating the final blow against a dungeon boss like they have been doing this for years.
Was nice to see about veteran GMs introducing players to strange new worlds, then watching in quiet pride as those players absolutely derail the plot. As they always do.
At Games Haven, we believe in the magic of face to face gaming. Free RPG Day reminded us exactly why.
Because in an age of screens and distractions, nothing beats gathering around a table and creating a world that only exists because you made it together.
So Thank You
So thank you. To the players, the GMs, the folks who brought snacks, the curious drop-ins who ended up staying all day, and the entire community that keeps this hobby alive.
If you missed it, do not worry. Our RPG World Allula campaign nights, DnD Tuesdays, and regular one-shots are always looking for new adventurers. You do not need an excuse like Free RPG Day to roll the dice with us.
You just need to show up.
See you at the table.
