FYI, all my fellow gamer geeks. Starting November 12th, RPGNOW.com is holding a ThanksGiveAway celebration. Over 50 RPG Publishers, including Bards and Sages, will be offering some of their premium PDF products for free! Each day a new set of PDFs will be available for free.
If you have never purchased PDF materials before, this is a great chance to test out some of the most popular systems and series available in the RPG electronic market. And if you are a regular PDF purchaser, this is a chance to stock up on your gaming supplies.
We have offered two of our electronic products for the freebie week. On Wednesday, you'll be able to download our zombie extravaganza Dead Men (And Women) Walking for free. And on Friday you can get our Neiyar: Land of Heaven and the Abyss campaign setting for free.
I'm pretty excited because they got a nice variety of publishers to jump on to this. So please stop buy and pick up some freebies for yourself. And maybe you might want to review some of your purchases for the Bards and Sages Gather group!

And to clarify, these are tabletop RPGs, not video games or computer games. The old fashioned Dungeons & Dragons variety where you sit around the table, roll dice, and pretend to be a hero.
Yes, people actually still do this.
When I worked for Kirby, the owner decided to do a little something to motivate the salespeople to pull more referrals. So he said for every sheet of leads they brought in, they could roll a die and he would give them the cash. So if a dealer brought in ten sheets of leads in a week, he could roll ten dice. Now he was of course talking about d6s, or "normal" dice if you will. Well, he had forgotten to bring any dice in. I had my dice bag in the car and told him I had some. He was like great, get them because the salespeople had brought in a lot of leads that week and he wanted to motivate them.
So I bring this five pound bag of dice in and dump them on the desk. Of course the dealers see the d20s and those are the ones they want to roll, and when the owner tells them to roll the d6s, they call him a cheapskate. Fortunately the...eh hem...special dice weren't in the bag, so everybody wasn't dropping twenties the whole meeting!
