Epic Games Store Offers Free D&D DLC and Cozy Building Game for Limited Time
This week, the Epic Games Store is giving away a premium D&D-themed DLC pack for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, including new characters and exclusive items. Alongside it, players can claim a free cozy base-building game called Flotsam, which lets them construct floating homes on water. The promotions are available until November 12, 2026.
This week, the Epic Games Store is offering two free titles to its users through a limited-time promotion ending on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 11 a.m. EST. The first is the Morte's Renown Pack DLC for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, a D&D-themed idle strategy game developed by Codename Entertainment. Valued at $100, this premium pack includes five new characters—Morte, Nordom, Donaar, Sentry, and Sheila—along with 32 Platinum Chests per character, two week-long potions, and an exclusive Kapak Draconian familiar. Morte, a floating skull from Planescape: Torment, has a basic bite attack and an ultimate ability that summons skeletal allies. The second free offering is Flotsam, a cozy base-building simulation game where players construct homes on water using salvaged ocean debris like driftwood and plastic.

The promotion is available only to Epic Games Store users who log in and claim the titles before the deadline.
