Forge
A tactile table is the product
Micro Reign is a 24 × 24 coordinate grid with 1-inch cells — two feet square. Twin Thrones cuts it to 18 × 18. Build tiles that drop onto that grid, not a diorama that cannot be reset. Minis are not required for the current quick prototype. Tokens read. Terrain seduces.
- Modular over scenic. Every piece must lift off so Seed can change the Realm.
- Grid-honest. If the rule is 1-inch cells, the tile is 1-inch or a clean multiple.
- Paint does the expensive work. Geometry stays simple.
- Electronics are flourish. Every effect has a manual fallback. No phone. No laser in V0.1.
- Prototype first in cardboard. Graduate to foam. Paint last.
