Thea 2: The Shattering is free on GoG for the next 2 days.

It's a 4X, survival, RPG, card game type thing. I haven't played it, in case that isn't obvious.

As some one that played this and the prequel, I suggest that you either have friends or a wall/bag to punch. This game is heavy on RNG and is sadistic on difficulties above Easy.

The art selection is a bit on the basic side and the card fighting is repetitive. You will restart often simply due to your village floundering due to poor resource nodes. If you love that sort of evil rng and the repeated actions of a story going this is a great game for you.

Otherwise I recommend you to pass. 1 is much better to play and enjoy for someone wanting this type of play without the punishing DM.
 
This week Epic is giving away
X-Com 2

(remake, not TFTD)
The base game for the X-Com Reboot, X-Com 2 is available at Epic. It seems they are doing this as a loss leader for the expansions, which are not yet available on Epic but "coming soon" even though they have been on GoG and Steam for years.
I'm a bit miffed, I just got X-com 2 when it was on sale back in February from GoG as a birthday treat to myself, and now they are giving it away for free, even though Epic has online-only DRM.
It's a great game, people who like Jagged Alliance, Front Mission, Rainbow Six, Silent Storm, or the Battletech game will enjoy it. Again, no "War of the Chosen" or the DLC expansion packs, those cost extra.

Features







XCOM® 2
XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year.
Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet's last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.
Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.
XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM's mobile headquarters. New open-ended gameplay lets you decide where to guide your strike team, how to grow popular support, and when to combat enemy counter-operations.
RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill tree, let you create specific soldiers for your tactical plan.
TACTICAL GUERRILLA COMBAT: New gameplay systems offer more tactical flexibility in combat. Use concealment to ambush enemy patrols. Loot enemies for precious gear and artifacts. Rescue VIPs and save fallen comrades by carrying them to the extraction point.
A NEW BREED OF ENEMY: A diverse cast of enemies from powerful new alien species to the ADVENT, enforcers of the alien regime, offer a distinct tactical challenge.
RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND UPGRADE: Configure and build rooms on the Avenger to give XCOM new capabilities on the battlefield. Use your Scientists and Engineers to research, develop and upgrade weapons and armor to fit your preferred tactics.
EACH MISSION IS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE: Go on missions around the world, from wildlands to the heart of the alien-controlled megacities, to the depths of alien installations. There are virtually infinite combinations of maps, missions and goals.

Oh, they are also giving away "Insurmountable" but I haven't tried it yet.
 
A notch late and all....

But I figured I may as well shill/share my online keys I got from a Bundle from Humble Bundle awhile ago, but was twiddling to see if anyone else I knew deeply wanted these keys first. Suffice to say, it's been quite a grab bag bargain, to me. But well, figured I have keys/etc to give. So why not?

Would say the name of the bundle in full, but hey; Rule 8. That said, first dibs; no more than three keys per claim, for at least a three days waiting period/moderatum.
