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?

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...

Recipe - Lemon-Lime Soda

Hello. C J here. I have here a recipe for homemade lemon-lime soda. This beverage is just as sweet as the original brand it’s based on but has actual lemon juice and lime juice in it. It tastes similar but not as acidic. Strangely this recipe worked the first time I made it. It’s mostly glucose syrup, which any chemist with my knowledge of food could make in a home kitchen. The recipe makes four cups, each one to be served over ice. One cup is mostly enough for one person. Ingredients One Cup Sugar One Half Cup Water One Tablespoon Lemon Juice Three Tablespoons Lime Juice Two and a Half Cups Soda Water For the Glucose Syrup Mix the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan. Put over medium heat and stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear. It should still be thicker than water. For the Soda Measure out two and a half cups of soda water. Pour into this the glucose syrup in a heat proof one quart measuring cup or other heat proof vessel. Add the lemon juic...

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...
