Reforging Connections: Building a Thriving Offline Gaming Lounge with Chris Dugan

Join Bill and his guest Christopher Dugan. Chris is the founder and owner of Reforged Gaming Lounge in North Charleston, South Carolina. Reforged is a modern gaming and social lounge built around the idea that gaming should bring people together. They blend the energy of an esports venue with the comfort of a bar and café — offering PC, console, table top, and mobile gaming, as well as tournaments, themed cocktails, and community events that connect folks of all backgrounds.
Chris’s own background’s a mix of IT, hospitality, and community building, and Reforged is really the culmination of that — creating a space where gaming culture thrives offline, face-to-face.
