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?

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...

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...

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
