Common were
- Heirs to Olympia
- Hunter: the Vigil
- Traveller Book 0

Thanks

Al;

I believe I have everything you were looking for....but honestly, I would be surprised if it wasn't available at Gencon in some shape or form, much like last year.....

top man - will sort things etc when i see you - would rather do it this way - get it out of the way and then i am not faffing around looking for it - i can concentrate on more important things, like staying one-step ahead of john at egors :)

The Exalted book was unrelated to Free Game Day 2008.  :x

And I left out the 4E module, tile, and mini, all of which were common but scooped up quickly at some stores.

Other than that, I think this is the complete list.  The Q-Workshop dice are difficult to get, and the game-store dice will be even more difficult to get (unless Noble Knight gives them out on Wednesday).

FYI;

Wed is Free RPG Day at Nobleknight games.  You can get some freebies just by going to the website. Unfortunately, the website has been flooded and each step in the process is taking me like 5 minutes. But keep at it, and you'll eventually get through.  I finally did although it was very time consuming.  So go and look for those items you weren't able to get on Saturday, and be nice and place a small order eith Aaron also while you are there....

Noble Knight took me 45 minutes to get to checkout. Since I have only had great experiences buying from them I didn't mind the wait.

I finally got through but by the time I did the Trail of Cthulhu module was no longer listed.  :cry:

I got the Troll Lord Game Starsiege and the WOTC Talon Pass.

Never had a problem with Aaron's store and have recommended it to many people looking for OOP stuff.

Will be interesting to see what I get, last year was select 3 though only get two items (course I put the GG DCC as the top and didn't get it, but did get the other 2 items on my list)..This year I'm wondering if I'll get the 4e mod, though I've got confirmation and tracking number already (and should get my selection tomorrow or Friday) and it was listed in the order.

Jason;

The Trail of Cthulhu module was not a uncommon, IMO.  I saw stacks of them on RPG day.  I bet there are going to be a ton on the secondary market, if not from Pelgrane themselves.

I still think that the Trail of Cthulhu module was uncommon, but I agree that eBay should have plently of copies if sellers think a demand exists.  Stores should have had many leftovers at the end of the day except for the free 4E trinity and the two types of dice.  Next year we hit each store twice so we don't get screwed --- gas prices be damned!

And I did go to Noble Knight.  I don't remember what freebies I ordered.   :oops:   But I did get the Fifth Cycle rules and two Heritage paper-building thingies.  That brings the total amount that I spent for Free RPG Day 2008 to well over $100, not including gas.  8O

OK, here's the 2008 sponsor page:
KIT UPDATE:
Once all the inventory was opened and sorted, some items were short and some had extras.  This means some kits towards the end of shipping lacked the full amount of:

Wizards of the Coast Module

Flying Buffalo (Tunnels & Trolls Adv. & Quickstart)

Troll Lord Games (StarSiege Quickstart & Adventure)
White Wolf Publishing (Hunter: The Vigil)
Wizards of the Coast (Three Giveaways: Unique 4th Edition Adventure, unique adventure tile and unique paint miniature)

SILVER SPONSORS (6 of each per kit)

Was there 1000 kits sold, or what was the number exactly?

Funny thing is, with Talon Pass going for $50-$60 bucks, 4E is officially more collectible it's first month than 3E EVER was.... :D

And looks like my Noble Knight order arrived :)
Got the 4e adventure, Punjar Gaz, and Starsiege (with Paizo mod, C&C 2008 rules and T&T adventure arriving from the result of separate orders from other sources). Figure spent about $15-20 all told for all this.

But there's no sport in hunting the Free RPG booty that way.  :)

Me, I just walked into Crazy Egor's and bought a few things, and then, gave him some stuff of mine, in case he wanted it. I didn't get any of the "ultra-rare eBay suck-fest" items, but I got what I wanted.

Lost cause for me this year! Mostly because I was at LGGC IV and didn't have time to shoot off anywhere that might be participating. But, Joe Goodman was nice enough to stop by and brought a few copies of his 4.0ed offering!

Was really looking forward to the C&C stuff! Unfortunately, Steve didn't bring anything of the sort to the Con. Ahhh, the irony of it all!!  :)
