To help celebrate their Tin Man Games Steam Publisher Sale, we've heavily discounted WU:O and two of our DLC, Thorns of the Briar Queen and Eyes of the Nine! We wanted to discount The Chosen Axes too, but you know how fyreslayers can be with their ur-gold.

If the fantasy board game aesthetic appeals to you, with painted miniatures, then you should totally check out Tin Man's adaptation of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, originally written by Games Workshop founders, Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. The 1980s gamebook has been converted into a digital board game, capturing that nostalgic tabletop RPG vibe. Taking your chosen hero miniature into Firetop Mountain, you must explore the many passageways of Zagor's domain and fight numerous monsters (also displayed as awesome painted figurines) in an innovative simultaneous grid-based combat system.

Tin Man Games have lots of other great digital gamebooks and choice-based interactive adventures, so check out their sale page for lots of amazing discounts! https://store.steampowered.com/sale/tinmangames
