18. Memorable moment of play. I was playing Sent to the Stars with a group, during my year of play testing, and a moment lined up. Sci fi game. Players were after a bad guy who was protected in a room that was secure and blocked communications. The guy used the room to do business dealings and avoid eaves droppers. Anyway, a stealthy character snuck in there (everyone was involved in an elaborate plan to get this guy) and took out the guards, then this guy had no way to call for help due to his own security measures... it was just one of those moments where the story, dice rolls, GM and players, were all in sync. Scene was very quick but very memorable. #RPGaDay2024 #SentToTheStars #SttS #SentToTheStarsRPG

I have a new novel out. By the Skin of the Teeth. Sci fi adventure. Action adventure in the style of the pulps. 4th in my Sent to the Stars series, this little arc is done. Check it out. #SentToTheStars #ByTheSkinOfTheTeeth #writing #WritingCommunity #SciFi #SciFiAdventure #NewBook

I write books. This is the Hard Luck series of short sci fi novels, currently 3 books. I'm working on editing the fourth and final one for the series. I've long been into the aesthetic of 60s/70s Ace sci fi, so mine have some of that vibe. #WritingCommunity #SciFi #AmWritingSciFi #ScienceFantasy #ScienceFantasyBooks #SentToTheStars #HardLuckOnAnAsteroid #TheJewelOfTheManticore #ReptiliansHaveItEasy #ReadingCommunity #WritersLife #IndieAuthor #Novel

I wrote another SRD. This time for Sent to the Stars. It is a D30 based system, pretty simple. Available to use under a CC-BY 4.0 license.

I think #SentToTheStars went a good distance with it, showing what it could become. Although the SRD has everything at the core of that game, in only a couple pages.

It's about time I finally posted an #introduction. My name is Jason and I'm into lots of creative projects. I write #ttrpgs and adventures to go with them. You can check out lots on my itch.io page: https://junkyardtornado.itch.io/ most are donation based. I enjoy lots of different systems. A couple games I've written include Be You Bold and Sent to the Stars. #BeYouBold #SentToTheStars #tabletopgaming

I also paint minis and enjoy some tabletop war gaming. And #Gaslands is a fav!

I also write novels, mostly sci fi adventure, but some other things, too. https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AJason+Renslow&s=relevancerank&text=Jason+Renslow&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1 #writingcommunity

And I'm a guitar strumming song writer, too.

I try to do at least a little something creative every day.

Other than that, I work as a special education teacher for my day job. Occasionally I post something political. I care a lot about public education and health care, and building community.

I've got a few projects on my mind. One thing I do want to work on soon, though, is an SRD for the D30 based system I created for Sent to the Stars. #SentToTheStars #SttS

Ultimately the system ended up a little more crunchy compared to what I've been into lately. However, I think it's pretty versatile and doesn't need to be that way. And the greatest compliment a nerd game group can give... my friends keep asking to play it again.

The book is available on Amazon. And there's a Fantasy add on, pdf on my itch.io page. It's a pretty big book that took me so many hours to write that the number can't be calculated in my head... hundreds upon hundreds. Then it was play tested for a year and edited. Still far from perfect, but I love the darn thing. #ttrpg #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletoprpg #ttrpgs #ttrpgcommunity
