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.

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...
