Fabled Lands doesn't seem to have its own forum. Never noticed a game not having its own before.
It's pretty common. I've never seen an explanation though. It might just be an oversight.
Yep, fairly common. Probably an oversight, could also be the banal nature of the forum software refusing to work for even the staff.

I think they are created automatically when a new game is added to the store. Since GOG's site has more leaks than a sieve that has been machine-gunned, sometimes they don't get created and no one does checks.
Besides the fact that the forum link for some games merely point to the general discussion group, there are also some game series that only have a forum for the series and not individual parts of the series.

You might want to let Gog know about the lack of a game forum.

Wow, I'd never seen this before. I knew there were forums for game series over individual games, but never knew some games outside of series don't even have their own forums.

It happens from time to time. Someone notices, posts a topic or messages a blue and then it gets created after a little while.
Yes, some games on GoG not have their own forum

Its Gogs secret sauce... or total absolute incompetence, you decide

-Do the permanent purple dot has any meaning?

-Arent some(ALL) movies found by the upper right magnifying glass search icon?
(Try Once Upon Atari)

-Do some already owned games are not marked as such in the Gog store?
(Activate the current Morrowind key from Amazon, Surprise!
...No, not really, has been that way since multiple Amazon keys ago...)

-Do forum searches return results when querying more than a single word?
(Never: it cant handle the space char)

And WAY MANY others...
Just a matter to read some forum threads & the community wishlist...

And they DO NOT care. Really
Good news is when those daily black holes show up,
many enthusiast forum members step to the plate
Unfortunately for your specific question, there is no fan-made solution. End
You should also check if the forum actually exists, but just isn't linked to.

I am currently playing El Matador, but the link on the game card goes to general discussions.
There is, however, a game-specific forum that just isn't linked to.

It looks like there are only three remaining departments at GOG staffed by humans:
- Marketing
- Damage control
- Galaxy agressive push

Everything else being done by old, dusty, rusty robots. That would explain the state of the forums, amongst other things.
On the other hand, it's possible for one game to have two different forum links.

Yup, for this one I did search (and left any spaces out of my search!) and also tried going directly to what the URL should be. Guess it'll be created eventually..
OMG I had no idea about almost all of this stuff.

The forum searches not handling the space char because most browsers encode it as"%20", as they should. That's just amazing. I find even putting a phrase in quotes runs into the same bug.

I'm still really, really glad to have a site I can buy actual DRM free installer.exe files from. Going to appreciate being able to buy software legally and run it on non-networked PC's as long as I can.

Thanks for all the great replies! GoG certainly has a responsive, caring community!

Some are cranked to a general board, try to search for elder scrolls.

Yeah, I find that to be a little annoying that multiple games can be combined and it's hard to pick out the game you're looking for, I first noticed this with the Arkham series.
