The original idea for this site was to provide support for creator-owned RPGs and to help gamers find out more about what other alternatives lie beyond the realm of the mainstream game manufacturers. While I created the initial version of The Forge, my co-founder Ron Edwards (Adept Press) is now maintaining it. For those who were at The Forge from the beginning, you'll recognize Ron as the main content guru. While I'm no longer involved with the day to day of the site, I will always remember it with fondness. My baby has grown up and left the house. Ah, well... Such is life.
