Hello #ttrpg folks! Something in passing at #BigBadCon has me still thinking, in both historian & game designer. Here's the thing, from someone who was there:

The Forge was an open-membership "book club", with a mission statement, & once it did what it was there to do, it folded intentionally, in a systematic way.

It did not implode in drama.
It was not a toxic space that ate itself (although there were plenty of folks who bounced off it!)

Mostly what happened?
People Had Kids.

I had a lovely con, but wanted to shout out an impending kickstarter for a Belonging Outside of Belonging game I got to try out and really enjoyed.

Runaway kids with superpowers.

We're caught up again!
