Hello. C J here. I’ve thoroughly checked my list of projects for the time being. I’ve published Heart and Fur. I’ve finished the core rules of Legend – Quantum the card game. I have the full text of the first several Quantum card packs out. I can print and sell it and Heart and Fur in person. I own the technology to do this. The Partnership deal is typed up and I have the Patreon mostly set up. My only actual project is to plan out the setting for my first video game in the setting, Glaive. Glaive is set in the card game and both are within my setting as a whole.
I want something to read. This is related, I promise. A lot of game companies have done marketing by paying people to write novels, short story anthologies, or even entire sourcebooks in their setting and with their characters and then releasing them as free downloads. The job I do doesn’t cost money in any meaningful amount. I have money to spend on the job. I want more books that I like including RPG games. I think it’s time to start reinvesting my funds in the fandom.
Here’s my plan. Go hang out on BARQ and Facebook in the furry writing and art groups. Hire people to write things in my setting with my characters. What do I need written? Anything. I’m really not picky but I want more stuff with my magic engine and all the spells in it. I can probably find people on Facebook and BARQ who I can pay to write short fiction, novellas, or entire chapters of game products for me. Then I can release them as free marketing and I also get books to read that I like. Graphic novels count as well.
There’s a lot of my setting that I won’t get time to draw or write about for years. Nebula is an interstellar space empire run by two of the gods who left Heaven in the Fall. Nebula is dark science fiction themed and has its own set of playable races. What about an RPG set just there? Or a series of novels about some of the characters I have planned for it? What about Hunter? Hunter is a planet of animal folk who inadvertently transformed all life on the planet into sentient machines including themselves.
If we need a core dice engine I can make one. Typesetting and proofreading I can do. I can do art if no one else wants to and I know exactly what colour to make the backgrounds. I could do all the backgrounds for a book and let other people do the characters. I’m willing to give people almost absolute freedom here so long as the result is in my magic engine and doesn’t kill any characters I own. These are my thoughts.

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...
