Updates About Roads to the Spirit World

Hello. C J here. The item cards I had planned for today will take a bit longer. I realized I don’t have recipes for any of the food items in real life. The food cards are supposed to be real life recipes themed after the setting region they are from. This will take a while. That’s fine. I guess I make some flatbread pizza later this week. Also I keep thinking I should write a smaller novel before I get to my current main novel project, The Relic Wars. I don’t have any of the setting done enough to do that yet.

Well, I sort of don’t. If I write a novel with spells in it then I need to take a break part way through to put the spells in the card game before I can write more of the novel. I need to do this so I don’t forget a spell. The card game is being built as well and it might make sense to go the opposite way. I have some of Roads to the Spirit World typed and I’ll have more this next week. I think it makes sense to write a novel with the spells and spirits from that Expansion to the card game first since it’s being made first.

This is easier to say than to do as that Expansion doesn’t really have a setting and having a spirit as a main character sounds like a hard thing to portray. The plans I have for it will probably make at least several hundred cards and I’m hoping that I can get about a thousand cards total out of Roads to the Spirit World. I need a setting and a plot though and then I can write a novel there. I can’t write The Relic Wars until Expansion three, the one set in Ascala, is out. That novel series takes up the entire Ascala continent and I need the Expansion to map that for me. I need something more short term. More soon.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

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...

The Tunnels Under Haven

 Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
