JunkyardTornado

The Junkyard Tornado... I had a band with two of my best friends, The Junkyard All-Stars. From 2003 to 2005 we played a bunch of shows in Eugene, OR. Then we got busy with life, but we're still good friends. When we get together, we call ourselves The Junkyard. Sometimes during band practice we'd mix bourbon with peppermint hot tea and we called it the Junkyard Tornado. 

Wrote a ttrpg: Sent to the Stars Science Fantasy game that uses a D30 based system. 

Wrote another game: Battle Toyale Use toys to create tabletop wargame battles. 

Novels: Hard Luck on an Asteroid (sci-fi noir), The Jewel of the Manticore (sci-fi adventure), Reptilians Have it Easy (sci-fi adventure), Daylight City (superhero story), Repo Demon (investigative paranormal), The Frozen Brain - with Robert Slaughter (sci-fi horror survival), By the Skin of the Teeth (sci-fi adventure).

Novella: Whispers in the Cyber Shadows

Poetry: Secret Love for Cheap Beer, A Man of a Particular Age

Made a cool list tool to generate He Man and other MOTU style characters and plots: here I watched every episode of original He Man and She Ra, took notes, and made these lists.

Music on Bandcamp: here singer/songwriter. Original music. 

GoodReads: here All the books I've been reading. Trying to hit that goal of 50 per year. 

Threadless: here nerdy t-shirts

JunkyardTornado is Jason Renslow. When I'm not working my day job, I'm a dude who enjoys tabletop rpgs, wargames, guitar, music, songwriting, writing novels, hanging with the family, and the occasional midnight BBQ. And, I keep on making stuff...

Note: For any who might wonder or care, I use zero LLM AI for my writing projects. Everything is fully written by me. Editing is done by me and with the help of family and friends (who I'm forever grateful to and who give me way too much of their time!) All art is either drawn by me, drawn by friends, purchased from artists, or sourced as clearly as I can figure from the public domain (I will never knowingly use AI created art).
