Ravenloft 1&2 and Eye of the Beholder would indeed be great additions...

If the D&D rights with Atari have been cleared, I wonder if this could mean we could have the missing Neverwinter Nights premium modules?

One of the issues also is, for digital distribution wise, that you really need to have the manual at hand for some of those games (like Pool of Radiance), as the journal entries and gossips are all in it. And as the game gives specific pages for the needed entries, the digital manual should be exactly like the original.

Sadly you´ll not see pool of radiance here on a near future.

anlcnda: What are the chances GOG could get the old RPG's from SSI and Dungeons and Dragons, Strahd's Possession, Menzoberranzzan, Ravenloft 2 - (hte mummy one) I can not get my dosbox to work with VISTA and I would pay for them!
Hem... DOS-based GOG games DO USE DOSBox as an emulation layer, so you're out of luck if your system can't run DOSBox. And you should kill your system asap (format, change OS, re-install, buy a new PC, ask for help to a technician) because DOSBox is one of the most compatible PC applications I can think of as of my experience with it.

Or there could be a list like the one GOG released for the Might an Magic Six-pack with all the answers on one document. Makes things a lot easier. Anyway, Pool of Radiance would be sweet to have on here.

But it's not just the copy protection with those SSI games, most of the story is told in those manuals. And there's lots of it.
