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'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...
