What is ForgeTax?

ForgeTax is a blacksmith roguelite built around one clean idea: you run a fantasy forge, and a dragon expects to be paid. Each run has you gather ore, heat metal, hammer out swords, roll their stats, and sell the results to adventurers before the dragon's forge tax comes due.

Between runs you reinvest into better tools, higher material tiers, and stronger blades. Great Successes and lucky stat rolls turn a decent sword into a carry weapon, while a missed tax payment ends the run in ash. Short repeatable sessions and permanent unlocks make every failed attempt feed the next one.
