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.

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...

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...

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...
