Indie developer D20Studios released a new turn-based strategy game today called Hero Mages.  Touted by the developer as blending "the best elements of miniature, card, and social board gaming" means that it should be easy to lose hours with this game.  Players control a team of three heroes as they fight to return peace to the land of Papillion.

One of your heroes could be a magician with magical abilities such as controlling the elements, summoning creatures and changing the world's environment itself.  You can even team up with 3 others for some multiplayer adventuring.  As with many free  games, you can pay a small fee for added perks such as additional characters or a map editor.
