The Winter of the Forge looms near
Tomas HVM:
Hi Ron!
I find it refreshing, and kind of natural, that you do this. A good way to end it, and go on. Thanks for the years of insightful discussions!
Ar Kayon:
Why is everyone happy that the forge is going to explode and die?
Ron Edwards:
For the back-story, please read the posts Moreno has collected in the Archive forum. All of my rationale is present there, or at least I think it is. I'd rather answer questions that clearly indicate familiarity with that background.
Best, Ron

I, too, am just now back from Lucca, and I consider this great news. As a New Englander, winter is a time for me of furious weather and furious creation in its face. The beginning of Winter is also when everyone looks sexy in their sweaters and scarves.
Avanti al'inverno!
Baxil:
I'm interpreting the announcement here as a signifier that, largely, all of the theory discussions that can be productively made, have been, and have been stated reasonably well. Which makes sense to me - I'm familiar (via other communities) with the cycle of "shake out new ideas, refine them, and then endlessly answer newbies' same basic questions forever". So breaking the cycle out of that fruitless last step seems a Good Thing.
Of course, as a newbie (found The Forge due to Game Chef 2010), I do need a crash course to get up to speed with what everyone here has figured out over the course of a decade. Reading the articles has been eye-opening, but I think I'm starting to realize just how much I've missed, and the literally thousands of pages of threads are a little intimidating. For example, I followed the link to JonO's blog post, and from that back to various discussions on Illusionism, Force, and Murk - all of which was new to me, and too new for the Articles archive.
So - I'm asking here because it sounds like this is one of the Winter goals (if not, perhaps it should be) - is there some sort of "Best Of The Forge" list? I see some of that starting to stir in the "Archives" board, but it's sparse as of this writing.
