Discourse supports OAuth2 SSO. Allowing already created game accounts to sign in to the forums would be spiffy and also opens up the possibility of later on adding third party APIs with authentication.

Yes.
That would be nice, I agree.
I will look into it, to see how much effort it would be!

Some further thoughts on SSO. This may actually be a very good idea with regards to integration with Discourse, especially when it comes to multiple realms, moderator/admin roles and soforth. Allowing the backend to be authorative on group assignments and soforth can make expanding forum functionality easier, such as allowing realm specific discussion groups and associated roles.
There are prerolled OAuth2 implementations that can likely shoehorn in fairly simply, but there is probably a significant amount of work to make a good integration on this. But it could very well be worth it in the long term.
