What's Next for Quantum

Hello. C J here. I’ve named the continent in the Quantum timeline I’ve been working on. I mean the Skyrim themed one. My project to parody Skyrim has concluded successfully with the following list of things. I have a list of species who live there. I’ve named the continent and its planet Niurn – The Land of the Ancestors and the three regions of the planet that are inhabited as Northreach, Empire’s Heart and Southwind. I’ve decided there are Nine Ancestors who their culture pray to.

I’ve made up a list of staple food items and recipes for generic fantasy cards for Halcyon, the Quantum timeline card game. Halcyon will also have a spell crafting system with different types of essence as the ingredients. This is a lot of useful stuff. Time to move on. I have a long list of further projects. Now that I know what I’m doing I’m not really concerned about doing them in order. I’ll work on drawing all of this once I have a larger batch of the planning done in total. Here is the current list.

Fantasy MMO

The Fantasy MMO genre has a lot of ideas that don’t, in my opinion, really add up to gameplay I enjoy. There are, however, anthro races in almost all of them. I’m going to look into some of these and see what I can draw inspiration from.

Generic Fantasy

There is a vast list of generic fantasy ideas and creatures that I’ve avoided working with so far in any of my projects. I might be able to rebrand them as draconains and make them use the magic draconians use in my setting.

Hard Science Fiction

One of the regions of the galaxy being settled in the setting is Dreamscape. Dreamscape is a vast galaxy wide cluster of city ships and space stations supporting whole landscapes and ecologies. There are a lot of science fiction ideas here that I can work with.

Dark Science Fiction

This setting needs something in it besides light and splendour. Penumbra is a region of the galaxy where the galaxy sends the dangerous or magically useful ones. Penumbra is like its own small Hell where Hell is actually probably nicer than it. Here people become monsters and invent dark sorcery for its own sake. Again, there’s a lot to work with here.

These are my thoughts so far.

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...
