This should probably be a sticky thread until the issue is resolved.
OS X users be advised that the OS X 10.11 El Capitan will break a number of games distributed by GOG, specifically those which rely on Wine to function. This includes games such as Nox, Planescape: Torment, and many others.
OS X 10.11 El Capitan is set to be released on the 30th of September*.
The breakage is due to WineSkin being incompatible with a new security feature Apple introduced called System Integrity Protection (this feature is also sometimes referred to as rootless).
A bug report has been filed with GOG.com to make them aware of the issue.

As a workaround, you can disable the System Integrity Protection feature.
Instructions are readily available using your web search engine of choice, as this lower overall system security I am personally hesitant to instruct users on how to do this.
* Users on who participate in Apple's Public Beta program for OS X have already been offered access to the 10.11 release which will arrive to the general public on the 30th of September. Additionally the first beta for the post-release 10.11.1 update was released for testing.
