Yeehawgust Day 24: Uranium Fever

A Fallout redraw of the 1950s board game Uranium Rush

[yourlocalbreadenthusiast]

Just recently finished reading Yellow Dirt by Judy Pasternak, and wow.

It's honestly horrifying, what happened during the uranium rush. And it's infuriating how the natives were treated. How nobody took responsibility for safety, and how so many were lost to the consequences. And they're still fighting today for the damage to be fixed, and for compensation of what cannot be fixed. It's been almost a century, and yet, they still feel the effects. Children and adults alike lost to sickness, lands and water poisoned, homes contaminated, and although some relief has been provided, it's far from enough. I highly recommend giving it a read.

played around with gradient maps - I just found out there was a less convoluted way to use them

Hi guys. Long time no post I guess. I’ve been playing around with a different setting lately in the Rock Records world called Uranium Rush (URUSH), following the decline of a fictional mining town in Arizona called Sandstone Springs. The main character in this new setting is Tobias-Bernard Nicholson AKA his stage name TB Vyrux and what he has left of his alt rock/nu-metal band as everyone moves away from the dying town.

Everyone is based on radioactive minerals. You’ll hear more about them probably. These guys have been making me crazy lately.
