However, the latter product was more a teaser than anything. Stores only received one copy of the adventure when they purchased a box of Free RPG Day products; Columbia has since started selling the rest of the print run — and even admonished websites that reviewed ''Dead Weight'' as a "free" release. More recently they produced a map of Hârn (2012) for Free RPG Day 2012."
