More Cards and Experimental Books

 Hello. C J here. I’ve wrapped up a massive batch of work in the last few weeks. The core Legend books and the core rules for the Legend compatible card game are up for free download. Legend – Torment and Legend – Champion will be reworked by me until they fit on cards as well. The eventual free print your own card sets will be up when I have the time to do all the graphic design they need but the PDF versions of the rules are going to be kept up even after the cards are out and ready for download. The Carthia cards then become my main priority for the next few months. Carthia currently is the only real goal I have for the time being.

I’ve got plans for what to do now that I’m done all of the mandatory stuff. I’m uploading some new experimental products that I’ve typed in the last few weeks. These are what I’m doing in my time for fun. All of them are in the Elements Engine and that will not change no matter how many of them I do. They are all also in the setting but are in parts of it that won’t get much detail in the main game line. So far we have a game about what happened to Heaven after the events of Quantum saw all of its people leave and also one about how the Quantum nations interpreted the events that made them leave Heaven.

The end goal is to establish new ideas and magic concepts that can be moved over to the card game. This requires a lot of making stuff up and then seeing how it works and then figuring out how to draw it all and give it mechanics. I can add new keywords to the card game if I need to and anything in it is compatible with the entire main game line. It’s that compatibility that took me so long to build. There is an additional angle to this that I’ve forgotten to mention this whole time.

Let’s say you attend one of my free learn to play game nights. I’m doing these both over chat and also in person. I’m planning this to be most of my job for the next year or two. It really doesn’t make sense to keep building games at this speed when so many of them are done and I haven’t played them for fun. So we play Legend using the sample Legend characters I have and then someone asks, ‘could I play as my fursona next time?’ The answer is yes. I could totally stat up your characters. And then we could probably collaborate to make a story, like one for sale, with your fursona in my setting.

Ascala is designed to be the ultimate generic furry compatible setting. Ascala can have any fursona from any furry genre move in. If the fursona has a history involving another real life or fictitious time period then that’s simple to account for and is actually a good thing. They were born in one of the other nations and then moved. If they have a noun for a name then that means they’re probably a mage and are held in high esteem because of their magic talent. If they have innate or learned magic then they can still use all of it in my dice engine. Simple. Now everyone’s characters can all be friends with each other and also with mine. Dear All, it worked.

Worth it.

Announcing Legend - Quantum

 Hello. C J here. I'm announcing today the official tabletop RPG companion to my upcoming video game line Quantum Dragon. The tabletop RPG companion is named Legend - Quantum. I finally get to write something in the Legend series again. I am very happy about this. The Legend series other than this one is done and will be out once its proofread, which may be a while from now. Reliably this series is the best work I've ever done on anything. I'm planning on writing setting and character sourcebooks for the whole game line as well but for now I'm working on the core book for the video game crossover. There's a free in-development copy in the Downloads page now. Have fun. C J Mcpherson

Minecraft Experiments - Steampunk Part One

 Hello. C J here. It's time for more Minecraft. This time we have some steampunk themed buildings. I'm doing these mostly as an experiment and they aren't in the part of the Astral I usually build, Ascala. Ascala needs more planning so I'm doing generic Astral themes instead of a specific nation this time. Remember that lighthouse form earlier? Well we're going in its direction this time. But first a long minecart ride from the underground station. And here we are in Port Stone. You'll notice the style of building is different. That's because it's a different part of the setting were building here. Here on the surface we have a boat waiting for us. We have a long voyage ahead of us. They've implemented some beautiful coral reefs in one of the previous updates. Believe it or not I've been playing Minecraft since before there were horses in it. Minecraft is still good. And here we are, at the new steampunk build site in the middle of an ocean. We h...

My New Favourite Video Game Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’m just going to continue discussing the video games I’m playing for a while. I’m planning out another batch of Minecraft builds while I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. It’s kind of weird that these are job activities for me but they are. The Minecraft builds need to be done so I can learn some more things about level design. The Pokemon game is what I’m doing for fun. At least it was. Pokemon make great inspiration for the work I do and the stories I write. I’m now having to make more time for it. Most of the characters in my setting are inspired by the Pokemon games. Our main characters Ivy, Blue, William and Benjamin are all based on some of the Pokemon in the first three generations. Ivy is specifically a fictitious all black Pokemon. Blue is an all blue togepi, William is a persian and Benjamin is a tauros without the horns. I’m going to get back to drawing humanoid versions of the first three generations eventually. These to my knowledge count...
