A new chapter for Beam Forge
In November 2024, ownership of Beam Forge passed to Glenn and family. We're incredibly grateful to Ryan and Sam for entrusting us with their baby, and fully intend to continue the mission of making nice things available to the gaming community. Although still in the process of setting up in our new location, the laser is running fine, and we're fulfilling orders again. We've got heaps of ideas about cool things we can do to make your games easier to get to the table and more fun to play once they're there.
Some day, we'll even figure out how to change the photos on our webpage!
Beam Forge's Origins
Should I get a laser cutter
- Ryan Paton
...Sure, why not
- Sam Wragg
Ryan has been enjoying tabletop games for a few years and has a mighty fine crew that had a few requests of improvements that they wanted for their own games.
This journey into the various games at the beginning went from a few player boards for Terraforming Mars into full box inserts for games like Wingspan and Ark Nova, with an unending supply of Star Wars games and tokens for games that needed replacements and it snowballed from there.
Ryan has a very creative ability at seeing outside of the box and how a game can be better with a little bit of laser and a lotta thought. Sam jumped on the bandwagon and decided to study graphic design and has wiggled her way into helping where possible to make Ryans business grow and expand it's options.
