Legend - Uprising and Saga Cards

 Hello. C J here. I’ve got one other product I’ve started but not finished. Legend – Uprising is designed to be everything I can’t do in Legend – Quantum. Legend – Uprising is a separate card game with base building, deck building, skirmish miniature combat and exploration. It was fun to make and also has features designed to help people tell stories and write novels in the Legend Setting. Legend – Quantum is the core setting resource for the Legend Setting but story writing ideas is the job of Uprising.

I’m going to look into putting Uprising in Quantum as cards for existing Quantum card types. Structures, battle maps with height variance, base building or crafting options and character or profession backstory cards are all being looked into. I’m also going to start using the training decks to tell stories. These are the decks with items, spells, abilities, potions and ally characters that players use to level up and purchase new things from. I can reprint them any number of times with the same card names, text and numbers of each but with new art each time.

The art will be one image each still but will contain dialogue in the image itself and be numbered so they can be read in order while being played randomly in the game out of order. I might even collect some of these images together and make ebooks or print graphic novels out of them. These stories will span a variety of genres but all be firmly in the same setting. I plan on taking some of the larger sets of training cards I have planned and crafting some long stories for them featuring the characters from the same set of cards. I’m calling these Sagas and while they will be playable in the game they exist mostly to tell stories.

Also I’m still looking into running some variety of house party convention eventually. My family are still on board but we need to recruit more people. They will be weather independent and so will mostly take place indoors. There will not be a fee to attend but I will have a physical and digital tip jar to pay for the food. Whatever meal we do will be from Cooking With a Wolf, so long as people are willing to cover the ingredients and my time. Then it’s lunch, cookies, coffee and tea, a fursuit photo and some sales and marketing time for the artists or writers in attendance.

I’m planning on having a movie/TV lounge, a video game room and an art sales chat region with snacks. If it’s nice out I have a backyard as well. If people need to stay overnight Kingston and the Islands is known to have great AirBnB. Like really great. Like I get that comment a lot from people. I guess I could probably sell my books and games there. Right! I actually have something to sell this year! I completely forgot I run a business. Parties will do that to you. This is going well but it’s still in the planning stages.

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...
