Founder verdict
MAYBE
Forgeon’s integrated editor and free approach show early promise, but the two-sided marketplace model faces steep distribution and monetization challenges.
What is Forgeon?
Forgeon is a platform for reading and creating game books—interactive stories with branching choices, variables, and RPG elements. It provides a visual editor for authors to craft complex narratives without coding, includes multimedia support, and hosts a growing library of free books. The platform aims to become a marketplace where writers can publish and earn, but monetization is not yet implemented. It targets fans of interactive fiction, tabletop RPGs, and aspiring game writers.
