That was written by Vincent Baker. If you read the acknowledgements in the rulebook, you will see this (on p 287-88):IMMEDIATE GAME INFLUENCES 3:16, Gregor Hutton Ars Magica, Lion Rampant Bacchanal, Paul Czege The Burning Wheel, Luke Crane The Mountain Witch, Timothy Kleinert Mouse Guard, Luke Crane Primetime Adventures, Matt Wilson Shadow of Yesterday, Clinton R. Nixon Sorcerer; Sorcerer’s Soul; Sex & Sorcery, Ron Edwards Spione, Ron Edwards Talislanta, Bard Games Trollbabe, Ron Edwards XXXXtreme Street Luge, Ben Lehman Character moves are based on secrets in The Shadow of Yesterday, by Clinton R. Nixon. Highlighted stats work very much like keys in the same. Highlighted stats also follow fan mail in Primetime Adventures, by Matt Wilson. Hx is based on trust in The Mountain Witch, by Timothy Kleinart. Stakes questions are based on stakes in Trollbabe, by Ron Edwards. Threat countdowns are based on bangs in Sorcerer, by Ron Edwards. Holding creation (et al) is based on covenant creation in Ars Magica (2nd Edition), by Lion Rampant. The character sex moves were inspired by Sex & Sorcerer, by Ron Edwards. The character playbooks were inspired by XXXXtreme Street Luge, by Ben Lehman. “Tell them the possible consequences and ask” and “offer an opportunity, with or without a cost” are based partly on “Taxi Service on Al Amarja” by Jonathan Tweet. The entire game design follows from “Narrativism: Story Now” by Ron Edwards.I think the Forge has been extremely influential in RPG design.</blockquote>
