Skyrim mods on gog? Some free some not?
The ones released are free. Also Skyrim's game version differs from Steam's, which might cause conflicts with mods. People have overstated these conflicts though, a guy at gog used the same modlist he had for Steam and from the 100+ mods he had around 95% worked properly, without issue.

It would be cool if GOG sold boxed DRM-free copies of games for archival purposes
I believe they've said that they were never planning to do that in this documentary:


First - there is an issue of costs. You need to sell at least 1000 copies of re-release of obscure RPG from 1988 to break even - and you need to do that quickly or you'll have your capital 'frozen' in unsold copies in some huge storage - that you also need to pay for.

Second - hardware platforms keep changing. Would you re-release the game on 3.5 floppy disks ? CD-roms ? Blue-Rays ? USB sticks ? For Windows XP ? or 7 ? or 10 ? or 11 ? For older or newer versions of Ubuntu or Mint ?

You can still buy physical releases for Atari XL/XE, Commodore 64, Amiga and old PCs from Retronics - but it's a very niche business. The selection is 10000x smaller than what GOG offers and average game costs 20x more than your typical game on GOG.

Silver Box Classics​

This collection brings back a gathering of adaptations of the events in the first four Dragonlance role-playing modules, at the beginning of the War of the Lance. These were the first games that brought the world of D&D to PC. Silver Box Classics contains of the following titles: Heroes of the Lance, Dragons of Flame, War of the Lance and Shadow Sorcerer.

HEROES OF THE LANCE
Discover the world of Krynn in this D&D epic. Control the Companions of the Lance (they aren’t Heroes until they succeed!) in their quest to recover the Disks of Mishakal. Only this can defeat the Queen of Darkness and restore the balance between Good and Evil.

DRAGONS OF FLAME
Takhisis, Queen of Darkness, and her Draconian hordes have overrun much of the homeland Krynn, even the elven armies of Qualinost, valiant in their resistance to this evil power, struggle on the edge of defeat. It is only the returning Companions of the Lance that can halt this wave of tyranny before Krynn is consumed by evil. Freed from captivity by an elven assault column, the Companions under the guiding direction of the cleric Goldmoon and bolstered by their success at recovering the mystical Disks of Mishakal, can once again restore a belief in the gods and unify the inhabitants of Krynn against the power of Takhisis. Rescue slaves held by the ravaging Dragonarmies in the foul fortress of Pax Tharkas.

WAR OF THE LANCE
That's the first D&D computer wargame. Prepare for fierce battles and all-out war when the forces of Whitestone clash against the evil Highlord Dragonarmies. The prize: absolute rule over all Ansalon on the Dragonlance game world of Krynn. Send forth your diplomats to forge treaties and gain the allies that will swell the numbers of your troops. When words fail, armies of human, draconians, ogres, dwarves, elves, dragons, and other creatures may prove more persuasive.

SHADOW SORCERER
Shadow Sorcerer is a tie-in with the Dragonlance series of novels. The player controls a party of four adventurers that have just rescued 800 slaves and must shepherd them through the wilderness before the evil Dragon army catches up with them. There are three levels to the game: - Strategic, where the player must move the refugees safely through the wilderness. - Tactical, where the party explores dungeons and other areas of interest, searching for information and treasure to assist the escape. - Political, where the players must deal with the refugee leaders and convince them to continue following the party. All three take place in real-time with the evil dragons constantly on the adventurers' heels slowly picking off the escapees.

Each of these gaming gems brings its own unique flare and adventure for you to enjoy, ranging from platform to real-time combat experience.

Good Old Games should be prosecuted for false advertising, after referring to "Heroes of the Lance" and "Dragons of Flame" as "gems". Also for claiming "[t]hese were the first games that brought the world of D&D to PC", when Pool of Radiance did release prior to Heroes of the Lance, if only by a small margin. The first two games, Heroes of the Lance (an adaptation of the adventure module DL1 Dragons of Despair) and Dragons of Flame (adapted from the adventure module of the same name) were poorly-crafted side-scrolling action games, and they ruined any possibility of having a proper RPG adaptation of the original Dragonlance series of adventures.

As long as GOG exists, WOTC can't retcon slavery, racial stat bonuses, non-wheelchair-accessible dungeons, and evil races from D&D video games like they did to the books. At some point this will probably escalate to a shooting war

Heroes of the Lance and Dragons of Flame were the only SSI-titles released on the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC-computers, so there's that.

(Not that those were good versions worth a go, mind you.)

Yeah, give it a few more years.
All whites will be chaotic evil and all niggers will be lawful good. Good and evil, so important in early D&D not only as cosmic forces struggling for dominance, but also for the morality and beliefs of players, now means nothing for Wizards of the Woke.

Hasbro might sell off WOTC to the highest bidder if they keep declining with failed products. SJ was a disaster and dragonlance ain't much better. Only third party consistently pops out product.

Was Lorelai the only giveaway?

Hmmm...
