Free RPG Day celebrates the fun and excitement of roleplaying games. Visit us at both stores on Saturday, June 21st for exclusive freebies, or better yet - join us at the table for a quick single-session game!
This year's Free RPG Day event will benefit the Canadian Cancer Society. All table fees will be donated to cancer research through Andrea's Adventurers, a local organization committed to fighting real cancer through made-up RPGs.
Special thanks to our friends at Adventure Dice, TTRPG Kids Convention, Link's Tome of Adventure, and Out on the Shelves for co-producing the event!

Hosted by Ash from TTRPG Kids Convention.
The TTRPG Kids Convention is Vancouver’s first ever TTRPG Convention just for kids. To participate in TKC you don’t need any experience playing TTRPGs - just a willingness to collaborate with others and have fun in creating a unique story.
