Coinciding with #TurnBasedFest, a five-day celebration of turn-based games, Steam is currently running a sale on some of the many RPGs and strategy games that let you play at your own pace. One thing you will need to do with haste is make up your mind about whether you buy anything in the sale, because it finishes when on December 12 (though some of these games are discounted for longer, so make sure to check the individual Steam pages).
Right now you can get dark-side RPG Tyranny for 75% off ($US7.49 / £5.94 / $AU10.73). The excellent cyberpunk-fantasy RPGs Shadowrun Dragonfall (US$3.74 / £2.74 / $AU5.37) and Shadowrun Hong Kong ($US4.99 / £3.74 / $AU7.23) are both 75% off as well. Post-apocalyptic indie Atom RPG ($US7.49 / £5.49 / $AU10.75) and its expandalone sequel Atom RPG: Trudograd ($US5.49 / £4.99 / $AU8.99) are 50%.
