Product Plans for Summer 2025

 Hello. C J here. I’ve got a few notes for today. First, I’m preparing to work more seriously on the first Quantum Expansion, Roads to the Spirit World. This means I might not be posting here as much for a while. I am also going to resume marketing on YouTube and that will take up some of my time. I’m hoping to use YouTube to find people to work with to help build the Legend setting as part of the Discord server I’m working on.

Second, the Discord server is a while away but it’s going to be part of what I’m calling the Collaborative Setting Project. The Legend setting is vast as an entire galaxy. The galaxy is named Creation and Creation shares no history with our own night sky. I have the core rules of Quantum done in advance of doing this for a reason. I do not need help inventing the rules. The rules are done really and they work.

I need help with the narrative part. Each Expansion has a theme and I’m perfectly willing to take suggestions from people about what they’d like. I’m willing to add a card, a whole deck, a nation, a character, or an entire several hundred card Expansion because of a suggestion from someone. I need to know what people want so I can make that. Each Expansion has unlimited room to add so long as someone has an idea of a thing to add. These things are made out of patterns that I find in the existing rules and mechanical effects, normally in pairs of two effects as one spell.

I will eventually be paying people to do art and text for me. I still will not be hiring people or commissioning them to make core rules or mechanics. Quantum has what it needs and Quantum will only ever be given new mechanics by me. Everything it needs should be in the core rules. I need these things to be paired together and given a story by other people. What happens if you make an existing character red and give them wings? What would a character do if given a magic item? What does one of the side characters do when not in the main story of a work?

I need ideas for characters but mostly I need ideas for things they can do, either in their personal lives or in their careers as combat characters. I’m going to look into getting these things written for me later when I’ve got more of the cards done.  Third, I’m also working on Heart and Fur World. This game has a real life spiritual aspect. There’s one very common real life spiritual idea that I can’t fit in the card game, the idea of spiritual journeying. The idea is that a person can use their imagination to visit a distant location and meet allies and friends there. Often this is a source of ideas, inspiration or further magic practice.

The card game has no room for additional mechanics depicting this kind of journeying. Heart and Fur World will be composed of nothing but this idea. The settings depicted there are mostly going to be from the Legend setting but I have some room to do other settings as well that aren’t part of the Legend series. Building these settings will be a job I am willing to pay people to assist with. Then using the game people can use them in their personal lives using systems that already exist in the spiritual community. That’s it for now.

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...
