Hello. C J here. I’ve reduced my current list of products down to a very manageable five. Novels, Quantum Expansions, the video game Dragon Engine, Heart and Fur books and Food of the World. This ends my planning for the company’s long term goals forever. I have long format stories to show off setting concepts, cards to explain how to use them, a video game where they are playable, tabletop manuals and recipes on cards. Good. It works.
This means I’m probably going to be really bored today. Again, my current novel Heart of Glass becomes my life a day before that section is typed. Here’s my thought though. You can’t play video games full time, it just isn’t good for you. Sure you can marathon one but not for a year straight. Card games and reading or playing tabletop manuals is similar. It’s never a full time activity even on weekends. And you can only really eat so many meals in a day regardless of how many recipes you want to try that day.
This leaves novels. Reading a book full time is actually really doable. It takes practice to have the stamina needed but it’s a really good way of spending most of a day. I know from experience there’s an even more interesting version of this idea. Working together on a shared narrative or on individual narratives as a team can take up endless time and is probably what larger game companies spend their time doing, making up new things as a team that they can sell.
I don’t have a team but I do have Facebook. I’m going to go hang out on Facebook in some of the larger furry groups and see if anyone wants to brainstorm together. What do you want in a game, video game, or novel? What’s your dream project? I’ve already done most of mine. It’s time to go see what everyone else wants out of the project and the Astral. Find me on Furry Love and Club Furry for Furries for now. Hope to see some of you there.

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...
