Meet the New Party Members at The Forge

3 min read - Published: a month ago

The dice never stop rolling here at The Forge, and over the past few weeks, we've been leveling up our party with some incredible new hires! Since our last livestream update, we've continued to grow our team behind the scenes to better serve you — our amazing community of GMs, players, creators, and Foundry VTT adventurers.

We’ve been on a quest to find the right talents to fill several key roles:

  • 🛠️ Senior SysAdmin/DevOps Engineer
  • 🎨 Senior UI/UX Designer
  • 📋 Administrative Assistant

And while the DevOps boss still eludes us (we’re recruiting — more on that below 👀), we’ve had success bringing on two talented UI/UX Designers, a sharp and organized Admin Assistant, and a new party member dedicated to supporting your gameplay journey.

Let’s give a warm welcome to the newest companions joining our campaign:

🎧 Arijan Krkić (a.k.a. AkiFSM) — Customer Support

From the deep forests and rugged mountains of Bosnia arrives a seasoned GM raised on the mighty scrolls of D&D 3.5e. Aki was first lured into gaming by demo discs and the forgotten spells of CRPGs, and now brings that same adventurous spirit to our Support team.

Whether you’re stuck in the dungeon of technical issues or battling mysterious bugs, Aki is here to light the torches and help guide you to safety. When not answering your support tickets, he's cultivating mushrooms and walking his loyal dogs. (We suspect they're at least part direwolf.)

🖌️ Adrian D'Alimonte (a.k.a. adrianD) — Senior UI/UX Designer

Hailing from the enchanted realm of Toronto, Adrian began his creative journey crafting comic books about a magic chicken, clearly destined for greatness. With a passion for all things geeky, he’s now bringing that same energy and experience into improving how The Forge feels and functions.

A true design wizard and cat dad, Adrian spends his downtime exploring new board games every weekend (presumably while sketching icons in his notebook).

🌿 Andie Sacchi Font (a.k.a. Andie) — UI/UX Designer

A halfling with a heart full of creativity, Andie hails from a coastal town in Southern Catalonia and now calls sunny Barcelona home, along with two cats, a jungle of houseplants, and a passion for design.

A self-taught artist and language learner, she forged her path from illustration to games, bringing a gentle mix of artistry and intuition to every design she touches. In her downtime, Andie sews, lifts weights, chases sparks at Correfocs, and forages like a true adventurer between sessions.

🦄 Julie USKI-BILLIEUX (a.k.a. Julicorne) — Administrative Assistant

After trading the vineyards of France for the wilds of Canada, Julie settled in Montreal, lured by its international food, curious raccoons, and perhaps a few magical creatures. As our new administrative assistant, she brings both structure and spark to the team, tackling bills and emails like a bard sorting scrolls.

When she’s not organizing chaos, she dreams of unicorns, cuddles cats, and conjures culinary experiments from every recipe she discovers.

The Quest Continues: We're Still Hiring!

Our search for a Senior SysAdmin / DevOps Engineer is still ongoing! If you (or someone you know) would love to work behind the scenes of a growing TTRPG platform, check out our Jobs page and help us fortify the infrastructure behind your favorite VTT experience.

Even if you’re not looking right now, follow us for updates and future opportunities to join the team.

As always, thank you for being part of our community. Whether you’re crafting dungeons, running your 100th session, or just setting up your first Foundry world, we’re proud to keep building The Forge with and for you.

See you in the next adventure!
💚 The Forge Team
