BGI LOOT DROPS
WHAT IS A LOOT DROP?
In gaming, a loot drop is when you get free stuff! In years past we did a Community 10×10, but we decided to simplify things to help make our giveaways as accessible as possible! Post pictures of you and your friends playing games in our Facebook or Discord, fill out a simple form, and enter a chance to win free games and/or gift cards to our Friendly Local Game Stores!
WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?
- Because it’s fun! Do you need more reasons? Okay fine:
- It helps support the publishers and local stores that sponsor our group
- And perhaps most importantly:
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN FREE STUFF!!!
OK I’M IN, HOW DOES IT WORK?
