Humble Bundle is always worth checking out but I wanted to mention their Ukraine bundle (100% to Ukraine relief). $40 for 123 games and books including Warhammer Fantasy Role Play, Starfinder, Pathfinder, graphic novels, miniature STLs etc.

Huh. I'm pleasantly surprised. Unlike most humble bundles, this is 100% to charity (usually somewhere around ~45% goes to humble, 15% to the various publishers and the leftover to the charity, though often you can dig in and adjust the percentages... if you know to do it).
In this case you can adjust which of the four charities gets some or all of your payment. (no idea personally what their reps are like, but in my experience, some charities do more than others)

Did Fulgrim Just Behead Ferrus?

It's probably an instance of Humble reaching out to all of the various devs and publishers to get them onboard.
For example, This War of Mine is part of the bundle, and they were already donating game sales (even the boardgame) to Ukraine charities.

I didn’t recognize a lot of the games there. Any gems?
For charities I prefer to give direct to known ones with low overheads, but am not above grabbing quality games for a good cause.

This War of Mine is probably one of the best games ever made.

Thanks for posting. Was about to post myself. I posted another thread of Ukranian charities and will direct HB discussion to this thread.

Now thats a glorious addition.
Quite the collection there. That more games than ive ever bought digitally on my ps4 for the past half decade, and ive given sony hundreds of dollars.
This is an easy buy, and an easy bump up to donating more money than asked. Good on all involved in making this happen.
I hope more companies every where follow leads like this.

This is crazy good.
I've been hesitant to donate to Ukraine-related relief efforts wondering how much would actually go to charity, but this seems to be a no-brainer.

That's quite a bundle! Do I understand this right - If I go for this bundle, will I be able to have licences for all these computer games in my Steam account? I'm a filthy Mac user, so my only way to play games is via Steam & Geforce Now
I've only ever bought games for Steam from the Steam Store, so not sure how licence transfers/registrations work..

For the games, mostly yes. Some are GoG codes rather than Steam codes.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. How can I tell which game codes are for GoG?
EDIT: Ok, got it, just clicking on a title will tell me which auth code it grants. Sweet!

Almost all of the games are given to you as Steam keys, yes. There are a few exceptions:
Liberated and Wanderlust: Travel Stories are GOG.com keys, and Max Payne 3 is a "Rockstar Social" key

Yoku's Island Express was my game of the year a few years back - platform adventure/Metroidvania by way of pinball mechanics. Utterly unique and totally charming.

I bought the bundle, expecting to be playing Back4Blood today, only to realize the game is not available on GFN yet
Oh well, money went to a good cause, that's the most important thing.
