karnak1: I've recently come across the Clue Book PDF for Lands of Lore 1.

In my opinion this Clue Book is very important to be able to fully enjoy the game. It provides a walkthrough, yes. But, and this is important, it allows to be able to know the damage statistics for all weapons. Something which the game itself is clearly lacking in providing info about.

I remember that I spent the game walking around with a puny stick that I was only carrying in my inventory because I was afraid that it would be necessary somewhere in the game. In fact, it was just a puny stick. :P

Isn't GOG interested in making the Clue Book available for download?
there's a PDF? i only ever came across a webpage with scans of it. and damn... most of the "magic" weapons in that game is actually shit!

blotunga: I guess it also depends on who has the rights to the book..

karnak1: Apparently I'd say the rights belong solely to EA (Virgin Interactive/Westwood published the original book).
So I really can't understand why GOG never enabled the PDFs in the first place.
if it's EA, they probably forgot about it and lost the originals or any documents related to it.

mintee: djdarko, what a great link site, lots of great downloads there
Yes, it's a great site. Another great site, for anyone who isn't already aware of it, is the Museum of Computer Adventure Game History:

http://www.mocagh.org/loadpage.php?thelist=2

It has good quality scans of manuals, maps, boxes etc for hundreds of old adventure and role-playing computer games.

karnak1: You're right.

Jokes aside, yeah. There are women in GOG too. They should write in pink characters, though. :P

dtgreene: Why not have the boys write in pink and the girls in blue? Mix thing up a little.

(Of course, this does not account for non-binary gender identities.)
Agreed, I definitely think we should go back to 19th century standards, where pink was seen as a masculine colour and blue as feminine.

djdarko: Is it the same cluebook featured on this page?

Yeah. That's the one.

Or go full New-Age and choose indigo for all.

Nah. One is the colour to rule them all; Grey.

At least we know what's probably the favourite book of GOG's staff.
Perverts!

Can we just settle this colour discussion by having the server on every post by an admin generate a random gradiant colour scheme? So one post might be going from purple to crimson, the very next post going from yellow to pink and so on? If it's randomized and goes gradient people would be too busy having fun at the server's colour choice to worry over whether it's a feminine or masculine colour choice?

Also, it'd be nice with a streamlined way to submit stuff to Gog in general. Last time I downloaded the scrapbook from the Larry collection it was so pixellated I couldn't read the text. I'd scan my hardcopy if there was a streamlined way to submit it. Sure most of the moderators have plenty of PMs to go through as it is.

Replacementdocs has gotten me out of a jam or two.

There is no streamlined way. Your best bet is to send a PM, errrr, start a conversation through chat with Judas. Keep in mind, though, that he is currently on vacation and won't be back till July.

You could also try the Community Manager Ciris. At least she might point you in the correct direction while Judas is on vacation.
