I just noticed the Vikings are putting game books up on their website: https://vikings.1rmg.com/gamebooks/ It's just a few right now but it's a start. Hi Rupert, this appears to be a private credentialed website, did you happen to get the gamebooks from the Vikings? If not, do you or someone have t...

Vikings - They are very helpful with game books requests; by February I should have all Vikings game books from their archives, but I will review them a second time and if there are any that I think I might be able to get...

That's really cool! I love getting a few physical copies here and there, but definitely looking for the digital ones for my defensive stats project.

I'm happy to pick this up [digitization] and help if I can get a list of what's done as to not duplicate efforts. I'm very good with AI (LLM/OCR/Parsers) tools and could probably start to put some stuff in place on the gamebooks section we have. I could definitely help build a tool or figure out if ...

Bump.

Let me know if you have any of these media guides, would love to try to complete the collection. Happy to share them as well. Just let me know how we want to host them.

Also, I'd love to be able to email members for any missing guides as to try to complete the set. Here's one's I'm mi...
