Hello everyone, I'm new here and I'm new to forging. Glad to have found this community and hope to pick up some tips and, later, contribute.
Hi doug, welcome to forgehub. If there is anything you want to ask, ask here or PM me or any other member of the Welcome Squad. Aside from that, be awesome, follow the rules and don't be a lurker.
If you're interested in improving you forging skills, check out some of the map previews and help threads in forge discussion to see how people make their maps, and patiently await the forge 101 threads that our lazy (more like overworked) moderators are putting together. Or if you like reading, see insane's Map Design Explanation. It may be old but the way first person shooters work never gets old.
