Default TFT for Free RPG Day 2019

Has any thought been given to creating a Free RPG Day giveaway for TFT in 2019? The timing might be perfect. Perhaps a staple-bound booklet with abbreviated Melee rules, pre-gen characters, a small programmed adventure, map and counters on the inside cover.

FRD releases were singly responsible for me giving the Dungeon Crawl Classics and Dragon Age RPGs a try and in both cases I made purchases shortly after. I would even like to help fund it as part of the Kickstarter, perhaps with the inclusion of the PDF version as the reward. Beyond the game itself, one thing we'll really want next spring is new players!

I had a chat with Aldo about exactly this at Gen Con. The challenge comes down to timing; we have a lot on our plates, and our focus is on getting the game wrapped up and as incredible as we can manage _before_ turning our attention to possible other projects.

Great idea. It'd do a bunch for visibility.

The problem is that it'd also be a large subset of Melee if it's a QS.

There's always next year.

At the moment, it is unlikely that we will have time to craft something for 2019.

When Aldo and I were discussing the possibility of a TFT release for Free RPG Day, he recommended that we crowdfund a small adventure to give away for Free RPG Day. Any thoughts on that recommendation?

That sounds like a good idea. My.preference would be to see something with a great story that isn't all hack-and-slash. Something like a mystery or spy thriller set in Cidri would be super.

I backed another company’s effort to do just that, so I’d be in for helping with that.

A stand-alone, solo adventure -- with everything in the package -- would likely be a fantastic effort for Free RPG Day. Then, the adventure can be used to introduce _anyone_ to the game, even those players unfortunate enough to be without a group.

Can you share a link to the project? I'd love to get a feel for how someone else handled this.
