Ascala Spotlight - Division Chiefs

Hello. C J here. I’ve got two new corporations heroes for you all today. First up is the Division Chief for Vehicles for the vast Ascalan manufacturing company Blackforge Industrial. This corporation makes almost everything in the city that’s made of metal. Blackforge Industrial has three Divisions, Consumer Goods, Vehicles and Weaponry. The Consumer Goods Division is led by the black dragon Balath Regal, who will be featured in the Starter Set. The first character here is in charge of their factories and research offices that make vehicles for both consumer and military use. Meet Cal Soundwolf, our tan coloured wolf Division Chief.

The Division Chief for Weaponry is the very publicly known mage Cobalt, who conveniently is a cobalt blue lupine. Both of these characters, Cal Soundwolf and Cobalt, are the Legend Setting species forge wolf. Forge wolves can be found as normal people in several of the Legend Setting regions and are open species for all non commercial use. For commercial use see my Patreon, where the $15 a month Patreon Tier grants an unlimited monthly commercial license. Just do not blow up anything you don’t own and don’t make the plot about discrimination. Real or fictitious, that thing has no place in my setting. Enjoy! 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...

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...

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
