For North America, the event will be held on June 25, returning to its traditional date following pandemic-related changes last year (see “Free RPG Day Set for Fall”).  Outside of North America, the event is scheduled for July 23.  Gaming Days Managing Partner Steve Ellis explained the decision for the split dates to ICv2, saying “It is our hope that this provides the best opportunity for everyone to plan and have successful events.”
