Hmm. I came over because the address popped up in discussion on eitehr RPG.net or GO (before the crap). Can't remember which. How I got on those is another question .. but I guess they just came to my knowledge while scouring the 'Net for anything rpg related.

Well, as much as I'd like to give off a really cool and unique story, I'm going to have to tell the truth. The boring truth.
I saw a link to the Forge in an Rpg.net thread.
Pulse-pounding stuff, huh? ;0)

One word. Jared.
His, at first glance, sarcastic remarks to a post of mine on RPG.net were pearls of wisdom in disguise. A facination of checking out remarks by Jared lead me to a link to the Forge.
Later,
Chris

Kicks up his feet and thumbs through a stack of checks.
That's right, keep 'em coming and I'll keep them coming.
But seriously, cool. Thanks for joining us.

Well, I've been doing RPG stuff on the net for years. I was trying to design RPGs before I even really knew how they worked. :) The first thing I did when I got internet access (actually, even before that... I went to the library and used a floppy) I did a search for "Free Net RPGs" (many variations). I found John Kim's page, Unclebear.com, RPG.NET, and so on. After I actually got my own computer and connection, I did some extensive downloading / printing. I bet I've got more net published games in my desk drawer than anyone else here. :) Anyway, at some point in all this research I went to one of the RPG newsgroups (rec.games.fantasy.role-playing I think it was... maybe it was one of the advocacy groups) with my very first game design. It was called "Adventurer" and it sucked big time. :) But, I got a lot of nice comments from cool people (I actually met Travis (Efindel) there, and Bradd Szoyne too, I think). At least one person pointed me to the RPG-Create mailing list, which at the time was at onelist.com. I was never a big fan of usenet, and that list was ideal for me... posts came right to my computer, and I could read them at leisure. All very organized. I learned a lot of great stuff there about various systems, probabilities, conventions, etc. etc. Unbelievably, I've grown to the point where my stuff looks actually looks like a game now, even one that was actually writen by a game designer sometimes. I even have a game (shameless plug ahead) in the production line of Crookedface Games, to actually be sold for real money.
So, I've met and seen a lot of people over the internet, many of whom post here. I think the specific referall to the Forge came from Raven when there was a big GNS debate going on in RPG-Create a while back. I only just now got around to joining on.
Okay, that's the end of my really long, and probably pointless and uninteresting post. Next time don't ask questions. ;)
