Welcome to South District Ascala

 Hello. C J here. Welcome, friends, to South District Ascala. This setting region, and this District of it, is my main focus for the next while. I’m still doing some cards for Carthia, my Ancient China setting, later this summer. Otherwise my two focuses are South District Ascala and the Wild Lords faction in Eternity. Find out more about the Wild Lords of Eternity in my YouTube video Wild Like the Wild Lords, under my channel C J Mcpherson.

I’ve managed through a lot of planning to reduce my list of product lines down to mostly three. We have Quantum, the Legend Setting’s official card game. The Starter Set for Quantum that comes bundled with the core rules details the food, magic culture and technology of Ascala. We have my video game slash animation software Dragon Engine. The starting area for its main storyline, Absolute, and its prologue is set in South District Ascala. Dragon Engine will be free and supported by my Patreon. I’ll set up the links to the Patreon here in a bit.

The Starter Set and Absolute are being done in tandem with each other. That leaves my new romance themed tabletop roleplaying game Heart and Fur World. You probably guessed this, but Heart and Fur World features a sample of the Legend Setting as its setting and I’ve chosen South District Ascala. This game will go into detail about every street, house, resident, cultural practice and magic style in that region and might be over 100 pages when it’s done.

Ascala is a fun setting to work with now that I’ve got the math part of it done. This region in particular is interesting. It’s the animalia ethnic region, contains a clothing optional District, has parkland within it, hosts block parties on certain full moons, has the oldest cafe in the city, is the centre of international shipping, has vast residential regions as old as the city, practices ancient nature mysticism, has lodgings for mercenaries, contains a number of corner grocery stores and has a spa. More soon.

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...
