Oh, no! For technology-related reasons, it seems, the long-running (since 2002) official fan forums at Goodman Games will be closing in a matter of days. According to the official GG forum account, writing in an April 25, 2024 post titled, "The Goodman Games Forums Are Closing":
"Hello everyone!
"It's been a long time since I posted on here. I still remember about 20 years ago when we first started these forums!
"I'm here to let you all know that we’re migrating our comms elsewhere! Goodman Games has outgrown its web forums. The software we use for these forums is incompatible with the direction we’re moving for the rest of our site, and it's been causing problems. So we will be shutting the forums down in about a month.
"That’s four weeks to migrate important information elsewhere, stay in touch with contacts, etc.
"We still do most of our communication through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/dccrpg/
"You can also keep up with us at our official discord site: https://discord.gg/bSR5SGg
"Thanks for all the support from the greatest fans in gaming over the many years of our forums — we look forward to seeing you on Facebook and Discord!"
The GG forums are archived pretty well on the Wayback Machine, and some forum users have said they plan to create mirrors, but if there's anything you want to see before these forums close, now's the time!
The DCC RPG is a great game, and Goodman Games is great for creating it and for engaging in all of the earlier publishing they've done which built up the company to the point where they could create it, so hats off, and thanks for all the forum posts!
