Starter Set Spotlight - Food Cards One

Hello. C J here. First up I’ve got some new art of the food cards in Quantum. Both of these pieces will be in Quantum as Topaz gems representing food ingredients and are used to craft food items. At the end of an in-game day the player team can permanently discard one food card to gain strong stat bonuses for the entire next in-game day. Here is a one-gem tomato and a two-gem flatbread.

Also I’ve had some progress figuring out how to draw the pinup versions of some of the equipment cards. The core game set comes with a bunch of cards for Ruby gems and weapons and armour you can buy with them. I want a pinup version of all 30 characters in the core game once each and of them using the magic in each item in the game. The food cards will not get these alternate art versions. The alternate art versions will be released on Bluesky as they are done and will be stored in a folder in the downloads link.

The problem is figuring out how to represent mostly armaments and clothing as people who are not wearing clothing or holding an armament. So I tried something. I’m getting well known on Bluesky for doing self-hypnosis furry art. The spells that explain the effects of the cards are also small self-hypnosis scripts. I opened the document containing the item cards on my phone and read one of them to myself once. It felt like it was doing something. It was one of the armour cards, the middle tier modern armour.

I wake up today and my upper legs and hips are stronger and wider. I also have more stamina for exercise and am a bit thinner overall. I guess I figured out what the spell does. I might have to use it more than once and get even stronger. Science does kind of demand that of me, doesn’t it?

The Tunnels Under Haven

Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Fantasy Plus Minecraft Server Project Update One

Hello. C J here. I thought I’d do a Fantasy Plus Minecraft server project update. Here’s the current state of the server. I’ve realized that you can cook over a campfire so I never need ovens. I have installed Blockbench and the Entity Editor Plugin. I have made stats, equipment lists and loot tables on paper for the gold skeleton themed enemies. Most of this will be run off three or four spawn eggs as the skeletons only need to go up in tier rarely and can have armour and weapon options including my spellbooks. I’m assuming this can be done in the entity plugin. I know zombies can spawn with armour sometimes. I will be recolouring the default skeleton to make my version, the sand skeleton. They will be run using mob spawners in the dungeons and in monster camps in the overworld. You cannot destroy them so get used to combat in these regions. I’ve spent a couple days learning Minecraft Bedrock Editor and I have the system of building worlds on the scale of tens of kilometre square...

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...
