Hear ye! Hear ye!
Tomorrow is Free RPG Day. Please plan accordingly, get to your FLGS early and try not to trample the newbs.
That is all.
(Sorry, Sage. It looks like the closest store partcipating in Australia is on the other coast in Sydney. )

| Unfortunately, the closet one to me is 50 miles. And I do not have a car. Evidently my FLGS hosted it the past couple of years, but decided not to this year because of a low turnout the previous years. This made me sad, since I did not know about it the first year, and last year I only learned about it the Monday after it occurred. |

Aye. Apparently, the gaming stores around my way did try attempt to shift the focus to the west as well, but met with little success.  |

| I was aware of it, but I will be working this weekend and shan't have the time to drive a half-hour to the nearest FLGS. |
One usually has far more to fear from the soft-spoken wizard with a blade and well-worn boots than from the boisterous one in the ivory tower.

Yeah, I know, but I was really hoping to get the print edition of this year's for free.  |

| Ahhh... good times at the FLGS. Got my free Pathfinder adventurer (along with an Exalted adventure, Call of Cthulhu adventure, L5R adventure and the Dark Sun adventure, plus a crazy d10). Did find it quite telling that the 11am Dark Sun adventure that was scheduled wound up not happening due to lack of player interest (and the DM wound up jumping over to play Castles & Crusades). |

There are two gaming stores in my area, though one is but a pale shadow of the great store it used to be (this fact is part of why the second store was opened!). I basically grabbed one of everything, though I didn't see any free dice. One of the more interesting things I grabbed was a preview for Deathwatch, a Warhammer 40k roleplaying game. It's not a gaming system I recognize, but who cares? It's Space Marines! 
I also spent a little money at both stores. I would have felt bad walking in, grabbing free stuff, and leaving. I picked up a couple Trencher-types for my Cygnar forces, and the Pathfinder DM's screen. I got a discount on the minis, too. |

D'oh! I forgot about the Warhammer 40k RPG!
From what I can tell off the Free RPG Day site, here's the stuff I missed (because I walked into the store 10 minutes after they opened due to traffic):
Amarillo Design Bureau - Prime Directive Quickstart
Blue Panther - Unique Color Knockdown Dice Tower
Chessex Manufacturing - Commemorative Dice
Columbia Games - Harn Quickstart & Adventure
Exile Game Studios - Hollow Earth Expedition Quickstart & Adv.
Guild of Blades Publishing - Heroes Forever Quickstart & Adventure
Skirmisher Publishing - d-#8734;, Volume 0
Troll Lord Games - Castles & Crusades Quickstart and Adventure |

At my FLGS, the guy who runs the place was keeping the Dice Tower for himself. I don't think I saw the Skirmisher publishing thing, and I didn't see the dice. I left the Prime Directive freebies -- both stores only had a couple -- for those who would be more into it. |

I may be going back to my FLGS today -- but that's currently very much in the air (it's not as local as could be desired). If I do, I'll see if they still have one of those. |

Oh, I certainly didn't mean for you to go out of your way, Wooly. I appreciate the effort but, really, don't think too much on it.  |

Well, my friend Gino was in town, and he was jonesing to go up to that FLGS, so there's a copy of Prime Directive sitting on my desk, now.
I got another of the warcasters I've been wanting, too.  |
