Start here: Forge Community

Welcome to Forge Studio Community: a place to find something useful for your next game, share what you have made, and stay in touch with your campaign.

Your first five minutes

  1. Sign in with your Forge account. Use the board’s Log In button. Your community name, profile and linked campaign roles are available in Forge Community and ACE.
  2. Tell us what you play. Introduce yourself in What are you running or playing?. A couple of sentences is enough.
  3. Take something to your next session. Meet Mara Vale, the toll keeper, or borrow The Bell That Rang for Nobody.
  4. Choose your alerts. Open your avatar, then Preferences → Emails. You can also use the Email alerts link in your ACE Community account. Watch the discussions you want to follow; adjust email frequency to suit you. Email replies are not enabled yet: use the link in the email to answer on the board.
  5. Find your campaign. Your Community account links to campaign discussions when your Forge membership is active and synchronized. GMs also receive a private GM-room link. If a room is missing, ask your GM or use the help topic; a community trust level does not grant campaign access.

Forge Commons is for introductions, resources and creations. General is for broader conversation. Site Feedback is for help and improvements.

Make this a useful place

Be welcoming, give credit when sharing someone else’s work, and say whether a resource is your own creation, an adaptation or a rules reference. Put campaign secrets in the appropriate private room. Public discussions can be read without signing in. In a shared campaign room, post only what that campaign’s players may know.

For private conversations, use My messages. If a messaging option is unavailable, ask a moderator for help rather than posting a private matter publicly.

You do not need a polished article to contribute. One useful idea, a clear question or a short account of what happened at your table is a good start.
