The mystery is no more, the previous teaser from GOG was for their Winter sale and you can get Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition free.
While Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition is a Windows game on GOG, it was ported to Linux a long time ago. You can find details here on how to install it. If that doesn't work you can always try Wine.
My choice picks:
- Crypt of the NecroDancer - 67% off
- Zombie Night Terror - 15% off
- Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition - 66% off
- Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition - 66% off
- Victor Vran - 75% off
Check out this link for all Linux games on sale.
You earn "XP" for every dollar spent, for checking-in daily, and for collecting badges all throughout the sale. That XP goes towards getting free games: Shadow Warrior Classic Redux, Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director's Cut, STASIS.
I was hoping for something more interesting with their teaser, since they only did a big sale a week or so ago. This feels too soon for another. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Got Викторъ Вранъ (Victor Vran) long time ago. And since then I'm patiently waiting for Witcher 3. 'Till it hit the shelf, I'm in hibernation (for GOG that is).

I tried several methods to use the native Linux NWN client, it works but you have a lot of work to do...and it's not perfect:
- premium modules does not work
- you don't have the last update
- no automatic update
- videos needs a workaround to play
The better way for me is to install the windows version with wine and it works near perfectly. It's a pity GOG does not provide Windows games packaged with wine, NWN could benefit of this method.

They do sell games which are known to work with wine for linux, but (fortunately!) not bundled with wine - you need to install that yourself separately. I regard this a good thing™ for a >150MB footprint package....
But even as this is a linux package (their installer takes care of everything) I try to stay away from those, and only get native stuff, which I have more than enough of - even without steam.
Nostalgia might be a reason to do it - but not for me. At the time most of those typically somewhat/quite old games were released I had already switched to Linux :D
