Join Me for Storytelling

 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.

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...
