Battle for Wesnoth, very good high fantasy strategy game. Lots of player created campaigns, and tons of mods

Edit: looking at their website, it is available through steam, but it is also available in a variety of other places.

Love this game! It still holds up pretty well

Yeah, it's available on Steam (for free) but I think it still fits this thread nicely.

It's impressive that they're still actively developing it after 20 years. For anyone else like me who used to play Wesnoth a lot but hasn't touched it in a couple of years, I just noticed that they have added a new mainline campaign fairly recently.

I love that it continues to be worked on too. I remember playing it well over a decade ago.
