Hello. C J here. So, I’m an author. I write books in addition to games. My original goal of the Legend Setting was to have a setting for all of my novel and book ideas that needed a physical location and a list of characters. The whole thing kind of built more of itself than I expected and now I own one of the largest tabletop game settings in existence and certainly the most inclusive one.
This all requires inspiration. Now most people sit back and wait for inspiration to come to them. This is all fine and whatever but really, there’s a better way. Anyone I meet who has a lack of inspiration or story ideas needs to get reading. How do I get ideas for stories or game narratives? I read books. Lots of books. Really I don’t care what the book is I care that it’s long and in text format.
Authors steal. We steal everything we do. This is a well known fact of the profession. And we are good at it. Take an existing character, change their outfit by one colour and rename them and no one can tell where you got them from. Currently I’m reading a few PDF game manuals from board games I’m thinking about getting with my family, I’m rereading some of my old reference tabletop roleplaying games that I used to inspire the setting in the first place and now that I’m done the long numbers intense set up process I can finally read novels for fun again.
I’m part way through a novel called Beneath the Shattered Veil that I found on the free ebook side obooko. It’s got two furry themed protagonists and you know what, it’s better written than most high price print fantasy novels. I’m going to go back to obooko when I’m done it to see what I can find there next. Wattpad has a ton of furry and fantasy novels as well and they’re all free. Be picky but remember that a free ebook was probably written for enjoyment and not money. We authors want people to like our work so be sure to let an author know if you enjoyed a book.

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...
