Homebrew GameDev on SourceForge
Working to finish an article today, I made the mistake of clicking through to SourceForce's list of Turn-Based Strategy projects. Homebrew, freeware cross-platform game projects in progress. Fabulous! Fascinating. Fun!
I tried Tyrant which added some pretty little graphics on top of NetHack-type play.
I looked at MegaMek, an old-school BattleTech hex-gaming clone. But it wasn't as drop-in-and-play friendly as Tyrant, so I could put that off.
Mostly, I'm just delighted to see that there's 814 projects in development there. A lot to check out! And that's just turn-based strategy -
