It’s Free RPG Day!!
Today is Free RPG Day, and it’s the 11th Anniversary!
What is Free RPG Day you ask? Free RPG (Role Playing Game) Day is similar to Free Comic Book Day – visit your local game store and they’ll likely have some free RPG swag and content for you. The day is meant to celebrate the hobby and offer great ways for newcomers to get introduced or veterans to try out new settings or systems.
How is Iron Bean Games participating? We know it can be tough to get into a store on a specific day, so we’ve curated a list of some amazing quickstart and adventure guides you can access online for free. From sci-fi to modern day to thematic cartoon, our list offers a fun RPG for everyone.
We’d love to hear what you think of these games and any other great finds we should share!
Happy Free RPG Day! Let die rolls be forever in your favor.
Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Quick-Start Rule
http://www.rpgnow.com/product/128304/Call-of-Cthulhu-7th-Edition-QuickStart-Rules
Horror Roleplaying in the Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft
The Great Old Ones ruled the earth aeons before the rise of humankind. Originally they came from the gulfs of space and were cast down by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found on remote islands in the Pacific, buried amid the shifting sands of vast deserts, and in the frigid recesses of the polar extremes. Now they sleep — some deep within the enveloping earth and others beneath the eternal sea, in the drowned city of R'lyeh, preserved in the waters by the spells of mighty Cthulhu. When the stars are right they will rise, and once again walk this Earth.

Shadows Over Sol: Quick Start
http://www.rpgnow.com/product/145920/Shadows-Over-Sol-QuickStart
Two hundred years from now what should be the shining beacon of the future is instead cloaked in conspiracy and horror. Humankind has expanded throughout the solar system, and there discovered mysteries older than humanity. The culture has shattered into myriad subcultures; nation-states are the hollow shells of what they once were. Corporations and other groups wage small-scale wars in the streets or in space. Bioengineered horrors left over from these conflicts stalk the hulls of ruined stations and abandoned colonies. But for an enterprising team willing to brave the horrors, there’s always a profit to be made.
The Shadows Over Sol: Quick-Start provides all the rules necessary for new players to dive into a science-fiction horror future. Features of the quick-start include:
- A brief overview of the Shadows Over Sol setting.
- Memories, a complete sci-fi horror scenario designed for a single evening’s play.
- Four pre-generated player characters, including all stats and background information.
- All of the game rules necessary to play the included scenario, as well as to give players a taste for the Saga Machine system.
