Food of the World Spotlight - Arid Lands

 Hello. C J here. I’ve just uploaded the first full deck of Food of the World cards for Lands of Creation to the OneDrive link in the Downloads page. These five recipes are the most essential recipes I could draw from Spanish and Mexican cuisine, as well as many other world cuisine that learned from those regions of the world. This is the first completed deck of Food of the World cards, an ongoing series of setting-themed recipe cards that will accompany all of the card game Expansions. This set of recipes is named Food of the Arid Lands.

Lands of Creation is the first Expansion planned after the Starter Set and it aims to present generic fantasy cultures for each of the game’s ten biome types. It also has strong educational roots, depicting where our food comes from, what grows in what climate and, with the help of anthro characters for the fantasy cultures, what animals live in what climate. Quantum has strong educational goals and I really want to make Quantum an approachable way of learning real life skills, especially cooking.

This is my five recipes I wanted from Spanish and Mexican food. Next, I’m going to see what I can learn from North American Barbecue. I’m giving everyone here a sample of this one, my no fuss easy barbecue sauce. I am also looking into some fun things like pork ribs, fresh cornbread, rotisserie style chicken and baked beans as well. These will be the five I want and we’ll see how they all taste when they’re done. This will involve a lot of research and I have several cookbooks and websites to go through for ideas. Here’s that recipe.

Ingredients
One Third Cup Brown Sugar
One Fourth Cup Ketchup
One Fourth Cup Soy Sauce
One Tablespoon Minced Ginger (Optional)
One Tablespoon Minded Garlic (Optional)
One Teaspoon Cornstarch
One Teaspoon Water

For the Easy Barbecue Sauce
Mix the brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce and optional ingredients together in a medium saucepan.

Simmer the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.

Mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Add them in and stir until the sauce is smooth and thick.

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...
