Project - One Niurn - Races and Colours

 Hello. C J here. I’ve just uploaded an updated version of Legend – Quantum to the free books page. Go check it out. It details the Legend – Quantum setting in vastly greater detail now and has some of the new mechanics for playing in this zero-death setting and era. Now I’m back to planning Project: One Niurn for now. Project: One Niurn has a ton of ideas I can use and reuse from the original game line. We have all of the items, weapons, enchanted weapons, armour and species to name a few.

I want this to be faithful to the original game so I’m not adding in any species to this region of the setting that aren’t based on the originals. The originals, if I’m remembering correctly, are divided into humans, the Imperials, Nords and Redguard, the elves, the Wood Elves, Dark Elves and High Elves, and the more animal like races, the cat like Kajit, reptilian Argonain and Orcs. I might be getting this list or the spellings a bit off but that’s what I remember from the games.

Each one has a home province and I need to detail all of them as a parody with better landscapes and more culture. I’m pairing these one each with species of draconains from my setting. Orcs are generic Green Dragons. Kajit are Cat Dragons. High Elves are Gold Dragons. Dark Elves are Grey Dragons. That’s the list so far. Also the original look of the game had horns on most of the armour so I’m going to do large horns on all of these species as an aesthetic. This will have mechanics as well in the RPG.

I’ve also pulled a colour palette out of the game. We’re working with pale golds, pale copper, greens and silver-white. This is the colours the original game and the entire original series were in including the armour and characters. This colour scheme will be the basis of the new draconian characters and I’m trying to keep everything including the skies in this colour range. It should look wintery and also unique.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
