Hiking With Dragons

Hello. C J here. A few updates for today. I’m mostly taking the weekend off but I wanted these in print before I forgot. I’ve updated the Dragon Engine page and as usual with the Dragon Engine project I’ve amalgamated several ideas into one brand name. Imagine, Duskbringer and a few of my other game development projects make more sense being game modes in Dragon Engine. See the Dragon Engine page for more detail.

Also, the Google Play Store doesn’t regulate user generated content so long as there are safeguards and proper guidelines in place. The game has tools built in for user creativity and what players or users do with that is up to them. The first region I want to depict is South District Ascala and the characters who live there. I’ve added in some details about how quests are structured. There are separate types for social life and dating as well as scenes of romance. Check out the page for more. All of these can be user-generated with the existing maps and character models.

I’m also continuing to find uses for Facebook. I learned that posting something to the Facebook main feed is a lot more effective than posting it on my CJMcpherson page. Using this, I’m planning on launching a few events. First up, I want a book lover’s hiking day while the Spring and Summer weather permit. There are amazing parks here and I’m sure any book lover would enjoy hanging out and discussing what they’re reading, myself included. I might also try to schedule a barbecue potluck in some of the parkland near my house for later in the Summer. Good, ideas written down. Back to reading.

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...

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

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...
