More Birthday Celebrations and a Board Game

 Hello. C J here. Have you ever heard of Chronicles of Drunagor – Age of Darkness? I have. I have a new copy now of the massive several kilogram game box from a wonderful early birthday I just got back from. My father’s side of the family and I had a nice day and some very rich buttery cake. I am going to see if some of my friends in the city want to come over and play the 30 or so session long board game on a regular basis.

Oh, right, the social life thing I’ve been looking into is meeting new people online. I wanted to know how to broaden my friend group. I have some board game friends but we needed a new board game to play. I’m going to have them track down the full five players it can handle. It’s a strange game that I’ve been looking into for about a year and it has about eight expansions. I might do some news here about playing it if the team agree.

It’s been a wonderful birthday so far and I’ve got an actual birthday day planned for the actual day the 22nd of July. I’m also playing this game to learn something. It has themes of the characters facing moral and physical corruption if they fail certain game tasks. I wanted a story driven game to inspire my depiction of my setting’s Hell region for eventually making my video game Duskbringer. I’m looking to Chronicles of Drunagor – Age of Darkness for inspiration about Hell and Duskbringer because the themes and story really line up. You can’t make a novel without reading a ton of them and the same is true for games. Happy Sunday. Now time to unbox it.

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

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...

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...
