[Salt and Soil: Frontier Family Sim @DelosX_official]

In 1799, 12-year-old Conrad Reed found a 17-pound gold nugget in a North Carolina creek. His family used it as a doorstop, then sold it for $3.50.

History is ridiculous, so I recreated the story inside my game.

This almost looks like the Yellowstone and Dutton Family saga. Hope the game is as good! https://t.co/MRjHgFOV3E @DelosX_official #videogames @steam @Yellowstone

Salt and Soil now has a proper home over at DelosX, freeing this account to maintain its rigorous editorial focus on whatever I feel like posting.

One family. 300 years. The American frontier.
SALT AND SOIL is a narrative strategy game - think RimWorld meets Crusader Kings and Oregon Trail, with choices that echo through generations.

Watch ~300 years of one run, sped up. ⏩

Paint night at work! Tried a speed painting technique — the secret is just painting really fast. Didn't finish in an hour, mixed colors on the model, takes forever to dry. Not bad as a base coat, one more session should do it.

Mapping faction alliances on a grid reveals problems fast. Ash Order and Covenant need to swap sides — Ash works better as the Great Houses' attack dog while Covenant hides from power. This geometric framework is a game design tool, not player-facing lore.

[Wizzard Rick @Wizzard_Rick]

My process for mapping TTRPG factions onto axes. Step 1: axes MUST reflect core world tensions — no stupid good/evil. Mine: Sacred vs Profane, Growth vs Decay. Step 2: plot your factions. Step 3: spot vacancies and alliances. Step 4: if geometry fails, your axes are wrong.

Micro-zines (fold one sheet into a tiny booklet) look cool but are pointless — unless flipping pages IS the mechanic. Each spread = a mission state for a wargame. Complete it, flip to the next. Only current spread's rules apply. Three states, survive all three, you win.

The game is almost ready, but almost no one knows about it. Proud of it

И игроки могут осознанно выбирать стволы перед заварушкой, расхватывая их из своей кучи, как из оруженосца стойки. So savage, much fun

[Wizzard Rick @Wizzard_Rick]

В ролекон��чате вспомнил, как хотел сделать хомрул для #SavageWorlds про тактикульный огнестрел. Чтобы не тупо список стволов с плюс-минус одинаковыми статами

[Wizzard Rick @Wizzard_Rick]

Смысл системы в карточках оружия. Спереди картинка, основные статы и счётчик патронов, а сзади специальные маневры, которые логически следуют из класса оружия, обвеса, патронов и тд
