Dude on the windows stuff and some of the Dos, just go the GOG way. Farting with settings and trying to get some working is a nightmare. I tried to get Thunderscape working for months years ago, never got the settings to not make the game run like hammered ass.

Right now you can get D&D stuff dirt cheap.

GOG and CDPR are subsidiaries of CD Projekt. Whether you like CDPR or not, GOG and CD Projekt have had a good history based on what I’ve seen. GOG has good products so I’ll support that.

This is a solid list. There are a few I find dubious but overall it's good. Some of them need context to. Neverwinter Nights, for example, is very mediocre on it's own but the fan made mods and the community servers elevated the game into the stratosphere.

The Ultima 4 modules and Dance with Rogues. The Kingmaker official expansion which is not included, should also be downable from the fansite unless Beamdoge claimed those too.

Dance with Rogues' is kinda wonky though.If you attack anyone outside of dialog options, EVERYONE becomes hostile and breaks the game. It's also one of the many modules that expect you to use only fighter/rogue classes, otherwise it's probably unbeatable.
