Rem fell in love with acting as a teen, when a little girl at the renaissance fair thought she was a real fairy. Since then, she escapes from the real world in books, gaming, and acting. In her free time, she also enjoys fencing, archery, learning new skills, and living new adventures.

Rem created Rem Alternis Productions in the Fall of 2018, out of the desire to share some of the stories she so loves.

Tom is also known in the Shadows as Teslan Kierinhawk. Wait, you don’t know who that is??? Well that suits him just fine as it’s the Shadows, folks. Tom has been involved with RPG’s and creative endeavors since the 1990s. He has been GMing Rolemaster, Dresden Files Accelerated and Shadowrun Missions, at conventions such as Gencon, Origins, and regional conventions since 2015. He primarily makes his scratch in Information Technology, but his true interest lies in building things. Hardware, software, websites, mechanical gizmos, or woodworking; it doesn’t matter – it’s all just pieces that need to get put together to do something.

Derekah is a Hufflepuff and a lover of people, which has easily translated into a lover of games. Eager to spend quality time with her husband, over the years she has said “why not” to learning Magic the Gathering, D&D 5e, and board games based on nerdy things her husband is an avid fan of including Dark Souls ™: the Board Game and Dune. She now loves all of them. They are her things now. In addition to being a part of the Episodicals’ cast, Derekah is the Supervising Producer for the Rem Alternis Youtube.

Thomas is a print-art specialist from Montreal, Canada.

John McDonald (sometimes Panabon and sometimes Panajohn) (pronouns he/they) doesn’t just assist with social media.

John loves to use the improv style of tabletop gaming to influence his writing career as an openly gay artist and hopes to be as loved and iconic as Stephen Sondheim someday. He also knows the whole score to Little Shop of Horrors and isn’t afraid to embrace his inner Wes Anderson. Stab along with Panabon and enjoy Panajohn’s shenanigans all year long in the Rem Alternis family.

A wrangler of both packages and players, Jaclyn runs the friendly neighborhood courier service for Rem Alternis. She has been making custom plushies, nerdy accessories, and LGBTQ+ pride gear out of yarn, art film, and love since 2017, which have gone out to nonprofit organizations, her own shop’s patrons, and winners of Rem and other giveaways. Their job at Rem is putting nerdy things in boxes and making sure they make their way safely to you all! When not crafting or packing, she runs TTRPG games for local youth at OutFront Kalamazoo and Fire Arts Collaborative while trying desperately not to let the party devolve into utter chaos.

Lily’s love of gaming started with Pokémon and Lego Star Wars, still playing both today. She played her first D&D campaign with Sarah from Rem in October ‘21 and hasn’t looked back.

In her free time, she’s doing makeup, hanging out with her friends and family, and probably annoying her cat, Toast.

Danny is the author of “Coddlesworth’s Clockwork Circus,” an epic fantasy graphic series set in a steampunk world. That same world also serves as the setting his Twitch stream with Rem Alternis, “Like Clockwork.” He’s also one of Rem Alternis’s music producers and technical writing editors.
Besides his graphic series, Danny has been published in multiple sourcebooks for the “Shadowrun” TTRPG and spent four years as the lead developer for “Shadowrun Missions,” before resigning to focus on his world building and writing for CCC.
