Good news! I found something I'd like you to do this September. All of it. The whole month. What's that? You already had plans, didn't you? That's too bad. After all, you have over 650 hours of RPGs to play.

That's if you get the ongoing “Beamdog and Owlcat: RPG Masters Bundle” from Humble: for $35 (£27), you get eight meaty RPGs and a bunch of DLC:

For $15 (£11.60), you get the 11.60 (£11.60) will get you everything without the “rogue trader”. The game has its defenders, though our own Jody McGregor gave it a 59% score in his Warhammer 40,000 review: 59% in his Rogue Trader review, criticizing bugs and rules clutter. Still, it has since been patched quite a bit and now has a 77% “Mostly positive” rating on Steam, so it's up to you to give it a chance.

According to How Long To Beat, a “full length + extras” playthrough of these games is about 650 hours, or 27 days, without DLC. And what a 27 days that is, ladies and gentlemen. Three of them (“Baldur's Gate 1”, “Baldur's Gate 2” + “Planescape”) are true all-timer masterpieces, and many of you may have recently gotten into this series with “BG3”. [Many of you may have recently gotten into the series because of BG3: one epic RPG story that spans two games (and two expansions) and takes you from a tiny level 1 dwarf to a plane-riding giant who battles gods and demons.

Planescape, on the other hand, is Disco Elysium before Disco Elysium: a profound and strange journey to the center of the self, in which you play a man with no memory cursed with an immortal life. It is a game that is often copied but rarely surpassed, and 25 years after its release it still tells one of the best stories in the medium.

The rest are not quite pantheon-level classics, but they all have a strong following, and PCG's Ted Litchfield might report me to HR if I didn't mention how important “Neverwinter Nights” is to his own RPG-loving life journey.
