About the Forge
This site is dedicated to the promotion, creation, and review of independent role-playing games. What is an independent role-playing game? Our main criterion is that the game is owned by its author, or creator-owned. We don't care what its physical format is - it can be:
  • a book in the game store
  • a PDF or HTML download from the Internet
  • a direct mail-order only
  • or anything else that is readily available
The Forge is not only a place for role-playing game authors, though. It's here for anyone interested in discovering new games, having better role-playing experiences, or discussing role-playing game theory.

The Forge contains the following resources and materials:

Forums

Articles
Our articles explain the theories we debate here, talk about the history of creator-owned role-playing games, and give advice for the independent role-playing game publisher.

Reviews
Would you respect a movie reviewer that never watched films? If you read a review here, you know the reviewer has played the game for real.
