For those of you who were not aware: https://crpgbook.wordpress.com/2018/02/05/upd … -book-released/. (saw it on the SWCollect mailing list).

Admins: This could possibly go in "Release Announcements" however it is not a piece of SW. Up to you if you want to move it there though.

Man, that is a *lot* of content. Love the fact they include games that aren't traditionally thought of as RPGs (Jagged Alliance 2, Star Control 2, etc).

This is making me want to go back and play Pool of Radiance again...

Downloaded, thanks 😎

I skipped straight to Might and Magic 6, my favourite RPG, and they said this ->

"Might and Magic VI may well be one of the best computer RPGs of its time."

Oh yeah, we're going to get along well together 😊

An extremely useful forum dedicated to help people get their games running correctly, be them old MS-DOS titles,
early 3D games or even modern AAA productions. Its users are very experienced and helpful, but be sure to search
the forums before spamming simple questions.

The author is Felipe Pepe (with the help of 112 volunteers). He deserves all the thanks (and more): https://crpgbook.wordpress.com/about-the-project/
