Hi everyone :) It looks like people have been checking in on the page so I just wanted to let you know that Summer Forum isn’t happening this summer (in its tradition of happening less and less frequently) but there are plans in the works for summer 2017. Also, Dilettante is coming out soon! Thanks for being interested and bearing with the slowness.
