Free RPG day approaches

I am hoping to run introduction sessions for new players at free RPG day this year. But I am running into one huge hurdle beyond the usual planning a logistics.

Vendor support is non existent.

I would like to use a system like Shadowdark or Black Hack that is super simple and easy to learn but both have no vendor support programs. As I mentioned last year Black Hack doesn't even have a bulk purchase or vendor discount program. So for the vendor to have the game on the shelf is prohibitively expensive.

Shadowdark promises something for vendor support but nothing ready for this year.

I won't run 5e which does have the vendor support - so I am not certain what I plan to do. Maybe something like Nimble will bridge the gap.

Anyone have plans for Free RPG day?
