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.

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...

Recipe - Lemon-Lime Soda

 Hello. C J here. I have here a recipe for homemade lemon-lime soda. This beverage is just as sweet as the original brand it’s based on but has actual lemon juice and lime juice in it. It tastes similar but not as acidic. Strangely this recipe worked the first time I made it. It’s mostly glucose syrup, which any chemist with my knowledge of food could make in a home kitchen. The recipe makes four cups, each one to be served over ice. One cup is mostly enough for one person. Ingredients One Cup Sugar One Half Cup Water One Tablespoon Lemon Juice Three Tablespoons Lime Juice Two and a Half Cups Soda Water For the Glucose Syrup Mix the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan. Put over medium heat and stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear. It should still be thicker than water. For the Soda Measure out two and a half cups of soda water. Pour into this the glucose syrup in a heat proof one quart measuring cup or other heat proof vessel. Add the lemon juic...

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

 Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...
