Humble’s Owlcat and Beamdog bundle is a love letter to new and classic CRPGs. Digging deep into the games made by Owlcat Studios and Beamdog, this collection packs 12 PC games, including heavy-hitters like Planescape: Torment, Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition. Like all Humble Bundles, the pricing is a little tricky. You can choose how much to pay, and the more you pay, the more games you get and the more money goes to charity–in this case, DonorsChoose, which helps provide materials and facilities for classrooms across America. The bundle starts at $5 for four games, or you can pick up the entire 12-item bundle, which includes $296 worth of games, for just $23.
