Free RPG Day works with top RPG publishers to create the can't-miss RPG event of the year at hobby game stores around the world! Participating retailers receive a treasure trove of new and exclusive RPG adventures, previews, and accessories to provide an unparalleled day of roleplaying celebration. Attendees get to snag cool exclusives, try new games, and be surrounded by like-minded gamers!

📣 Please note: Board Game Night and regularly scheduled RPGs will be canceled this weekend to make room for all the RPG action. See you at the table for Free RPG Day instead!

All RPG Games & Accessories — In-Store & Online!

Dice · Dice Bags · Dice Trays · Miniatures · Warlock Tiles · Battle Maps · Army Painter Accessories · Spellbook Cards · RPG Books · and more!

Great time to grab that rulebook you've been eyeing, restock your dice hoard, or finally pick up those minis you keep telling yourself you'll paint someday. 👀

We've got something special up for grabs — a signed copy of Scion RPG, available exclusively through a silent auction running all weekend during Free RPG Day. This is your chance to take home a one-of-a-kind piece for your collection!

📋 How It Works

A bid sheet will be posted next to the item at the register. To place a bid, write your name, a contact email or phone number, and your bid amount. That's it!

⚙ The Rules

The highest bidder at close wins — we'll reach out using the contact info on your bid sheet. Payment is due by Saturday, July 4th and can be made at the in-store register. If the winner cannot be reached within 24 hours, the item goes to the next highest bidder.

Free RPG Day is all about getting people to the table, and we'd love your help making that happen! We're looking for Game Masters to run one-shots throughout the weekend — and we especially want to shine a spotlight on local indie TTRPG creators from the DMV (DC, MD, VA).

If you're a GM, this is a great chance to introduce players to something they might not have discovered on their own. We carry several DMV-designed games in-store, and you can browse the full list of local creators at Designed in the DMV. If you have another local creator you love and want to champion, we're all ears!
