hey there! i'm J!

I'm a touring bass player, singer, composer, podcaster, audio editor, and TTRPG nerd. I love to perform and entertain! I'm nonbinary and my pronouns are they/them.

I've worked on a lot of wildly different projects, and here are some of my babies ♥

My podcast Planet Arcana: A tightly edited, tarot-flavored, retrofuturistic D&D podcast. 5e based and double DMed.

I co-DM for the show and do all the audio editing and scoring.

Here are a few tracks I've composed for the show:

I've toured internationally playing bass and singing harmonies. This is me playing Molotow in Hamburg, Germany:

It’s lovely and cold in the IPR office today, so lets talk about a game that holds that chill in its very bones.

Polaris: Chivalric Tragedy at Utmost North is a game for three to five players set during the final years of the Northernmost People, just before the remnants of their civilization were swallowed up by their own Mistake.

Similarly to a Belonging Outside Belonging game, Polaris does not use a GM, just players who take on different aspects of the protagonists and the world in an attempt to tell the forgotten story of the greatest people this world will ever know. Each protagonist is a Knight of the Order of the Stars, the Queen’s retinue turned army as dawn begins to rise over the city of ice and starlight.

Your Knights will fight against demons from the Mistake, doubters from the people, and even betrayers within their own brotherhood. All of which leads to their inevitable tragic end, as no matter how hard you fight you cannot stop the sun from rising.

Trapped in the south, a young knight bargains with Leviathan for return to his homeland.

Polaris reads like an epic poem, a fairy tale written with gorgeous lyricality that immerses you in the world before letting you loose in it. It encourages the players to continue within the same cadence through the use of Key Phrases, one of the main mechanics of the game.

Polaris is a deeply narrative game, with conflict relying on the players desire to tell an interesting story. If you enjoy old school fairy tales and fighting for what the world could’ve been you should absolutely check it out.

Alias: Scarlet Squall (she/they), Earth Genasi Tempest Cleric.
