Sometimes the smallest heroes are also the most stressed out—prepare to play the animal familiars of an adventuring party with our new one-page RPG, A Familiar Problem! Created by Marisha Ray (Critical Role) and designed by Grant Howitt (Honey Heist), your scrappy and stressed out team of familiars will set out on a daring (and chaotic) quest to prove you’re up for adventure.

And where can you find this fine, free RPG of familiar antics? Pick up your free copy of A Familiar Problem at friendly local game stores on Free RPG Day: Saturday, June 25th in the US and July 23rd internationally! Check the store finder for a participating location near you. After you’ve picked up your free copy of the game in print, remember to support your friendly local game store by purchasing a game too, or even Critical Role merch if your FLGS is a Darrington Press Guild member.

A Familiar Problem will also have a wider digital release later this year, so stay tuned for those details! For all the latest and greatest updates subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
