Mars wrote:Thanks for stopping by and answering the questions. Mainly curious if there would have been a cheaper way of purchasing a box of stuff (other than through Ebay) because none of the gamestores in my area are participating this year (whereas last year there were 3). I called one store this morning and they said that they had signed up but nothing arrived so I don't know if they are just covering themselves or if the package is late.

Wingnut wrote:Yes, the # of stores are down this year. Last year, we had nearly 400 stores and this year it is nearly 300. So many stores told us that it was the economy for lack of RPG sales as to their decision not to spend the $65 to participate.
JohnGaunt wrote:$65 is too much for a gamestore to spend on a promotion?Free RPG Day creates so many immediate and future sales opportunites . . .
