Time to Roll Dice

 Hello. C J here. I've gone through my list of projects and everything looks good. The cookbook Cooking With a Wolf is going to be finalized soon and then I'll draw the cover art. The cover art will be of my main fursona holding a frying pan. Yes. It's that meta. I might cut out some of the less feasible recipes and finalize a few of the photographs but it will be done soon and then in print.


The Legend Series will be in open beta for at least a year and then I'll have the final free full pdf documents out here. The work making the games is completely done except the proofreading and playtesting. My project to build the next setting Carthia is going well and will be finalized closer to Summer. Carthia is in the same setting as my other works. I'm working on detailing the setting's Hell in a series of game manuals and then after Hell I'm returning to Ascala to write some game manuals just about it.


Ascala is still the main setting for the open beta. More can be found out about all of this in the Downloads page in the link there. The core rules for my official casual play card game Quantum are also done and up there for download. Quantum will be finalized in a later year and will also be free downloads you can print at home. This leaves me ready to move onto the next phase of the company's plans.


It's time to play my games with people. I've run a few sample combats myself and the dice do exactly what I want them to do. I've got four to five sessions of content written down and stats and lore for the first few fights and their opponents. I'm going to be finding people on Facebook mostly. These will be run as frequently as I can run them. I have eight pre-made characters with species and stats. Players can pick their genders. I have the ending planned out for people who want a full campaign and most of the middle as well. I'm starting out finding people in the Greymuzzles group on Facebook and will expand from there. I've already pitched the idea and gotten a lot of positive feedback. Time to roll dice. See you all at the gaming table.

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...
