Can I think of interesting things to come out of the Forge? Of course. Fate was incubated there (although had little Forge theory behind it), D. Vincent Baker has done a lot of very good work, and came through the Forge, and I believe My Life With Master and with it story games came from there. But GNS itself is more or less of historical interest only*, and the last RPG work I'm aware of from Edwards was Circle of Hands that raised under $10k on Kickstarter in 2014 and was delivered in early 2015.* Even on the Forge it was meant to be replaced by the Big Model - which more or less fizzled because it was one of those theories that explained everything, including things that are untrue.</blockquote>
