Golden Star Keycaps!

The people behind Golden Star Keycaps have graciously decided to collaborate with us for GMK Forge. These are the two mockups that they provided and they’re currently working on the color matching process. I think they turned out amazing! I hope you guys are as excited about these as I am. GSK will be the ones managing the raffle and determining which sculpts will be available. However, we’ve both agreed that Magnus is perfect for this set so you can be assured that Magnus will be available. Keep an eye out for more information once the GB starts.

Note: We also are talking with another artisan maker but
we are not sure if he’ll be able to slot us in. We’ll keep
you updated on this one.*

Hey everyone! After receiving some feedback, I’m going to
revamp what was GMK Burnt Orange to GMK Forge. Many of you
really love the colorway, so the colors will stay roughly
the same, but now we can introduce some novelties to go with
the set!
Note: I had no idea that there was a GMK Forge that tried
to run in 2018. That was before my time. I sent the GB
runner a message to use GMK Forge but if that name is not
available, I’ll update it to something else. I’ve been
given permission to use GMK Forge!
We’re good to go.

About
Forge
1a : to form (something, such
as metal) by heating and hammering
Tracing back almost
9000 years, forging has played a large part in shaping the
world we live in today. The art of forging was predominantly
used in early human history to create weapons and tools
using small fires. Later, charcoal forges were used to
create bronze and iron which contributed to the production
of weapons during the Dark Ages. As the technology improved,
so did the tools and weapons that were created. Currently,
forging is predominantly used to produce decorative objects
from precious metals. The forge itself is a type of hearth
used for heating metals. The heated metal comes out of the
forge with a nice orange glow.
Design
The dark
gray blue mods provide a foundation for the orange to shine
as the fire from the forge. Using the Forge theme, there
will be five kits. The Anvil kit (Base), Axe Kit (40s),
Forgemaster’s kit (Novelties), and Molten White Alphas. The
idea is to have a full (and heavy) base kit so that it will
cover most common layouts (min ISO support included). Any
uncommon layouts can look to the 40s kit. The accent legend
has been changed to burnt orange to reduce the contrast with
the other keys, but regular mods will be included for those
who don’t like the accents. The novelties consist of a
mixture of forging tools and the fictional side of
blacksmithing as we see on TV, movies, and/or games.
Depending on whether GMK can mold the small details, the
novelties might change a bit to accommodate.
