SAMS STILLEY'S JOURNEY TO 'THE FORGE'
Sam Stilley isn't just the CEO of Amstill Roofing; he's a heart-and-soul gamer and a dedicated hobbyist. His journey to establishing 'The Forge' on December 3, 2021, was fueled by a deep-rooted passion for gaming and a desire to create a community where gamers and hobbyists don't just spend money but feel valued and connected.
From the rolling of dice to the painting of miniatures, Sam has always found solace and joy in the intricate world of gaming. His vision for 'The Forge' was clear: to build a space that transcends the conventional game store. He wanted to forge a place where friendships bloom over shared adventures and where every gamer, novice or expert, feels at home.
PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM SAM
Games have always been more than just a pastime for me – they're a means to connect, create, and find a sense of belonging. At 'The Forge', our philosophy extends beyond mere commerce; we are dedicated to nurturing a thriving community. Here, each member is valued for their distinct passion, and every game is an opportunity to forge lasting connections. It's not just about the thrill of competition; it's about the camaraderie that grows around the table, the stories that unfold, and the shared joy in every victory.
Join us at 'The Forge', where your gaming journey is not just recognized but celebrated. Whether you're rolling dice or strategizing on the board, every action is a step towards building enduring relationships. Our space is a sanctuary for those who seek more than just a game – it's a place where defeats become shared experiences and victories a collective celebration. So come, be a part of our community, where each game played is more than just a game – it's a part of your story, woven into the vibrant tapestry of 'The Forge'.
