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 as parody to the extent that I can sell them. I’m renaming the species anyway.
The game I’m playing is inspirational in the literal storytelling sense of the word. Every run of a dungeon and I get new ideas for characters and their stories. When you recruit a Pokemon you get to name them. This might turn out to be a good way of brainstorming characters since all my species I write about are Pokemon themed. If I name a character something I own the name and then I have an easier time writing stories about them because I’ve played them in a game.
The first dungeon in the game is Tiny Woods and it’s full of low level insect and bird themed Pokemon. There are forests and forest themed settlements in my stories. I have several insect and bird themed species. What if they were friends? If I need to rescue someone from Tiny Woods because a friend needs them back safely then these two Pokemon are already friends. So what happens if two people in my setting who were similar species to them were also friends? Friendship is always a good subject for a book.

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
