Welcome to Ascala

 Hello. C J here. I’m mostly wrapping up some of the last planning for Eternity today, in particular the Quantum Expansion set Song of Eternity. Quantum will feature the whole region in all its steampunk beauty. Uprising will also feature more detailed locations and character biographies. Uprising is now being made using AI art because I’m having fun seeing what the medium can do. The project here will just be tons of typing and art from now on for Song of Eternity. None of this requires math anymore.

I’m thinking about what I’m doing next and if I want the next Expansion after Eternity to happen at all I should start working on it now. Ascala is my next planned setting region with its card set Five Million Strong. I’m also thinking about my project to draw all the first three generations of Pokemon as humanoid characters as inspiration for the species in my setting. I thought, why not put the Pokemon in Ascala? I’ll have to draw every species my setting has to do it and allocate them to part of the city but this sounds like a good idea.

I might even theme the Districts of the city after Pokemon types. One of the goals for Ascala and Five Million Strong is to create a generic fantasy city where everyone’s fursona can live and work together. These ideas will work together well. Here’s a totally new piece of art that happens to look like a pikachu set in the city. This pikachu is a species called Astrals. Astrals are living energy and this breed can shapeshift at will. 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...
