Identify
Hi, I'm Jerry.
I am Dutch.
I live in Sydney, Australia.
I remote-work for Heap in San Francisco.
You can find out about me, this site, my career, and how to contact me to the right.
Zone of Truth
I failed my Charisma saving throw, so just the truth... I've worked in IT now for about two decades in programming, management, analysis, architecture, devops, security, and policy/compliance. Technology is my passion, but that's just the tiny gears in a much larger complex whole. Of my off-time, I spend too much with visual entertainment and books, so yoga is my willing penance. And more recently D&D has started taking on a larger looming spectre. This site is an ambitious project, and I suspect there is a 50/50 chance of it succeeding as intended. Roll Initiative!
Plane Shift
You are transported to a different plane of existence. You can specify a target destination in general terms, such as "Jerry's D&D obsession", or "That 365 day thing" and you appear at or near that shared interest or part of my personality.
Project Image
You create an illusory copy of yourself; the illusion looks and sounds like you and accurately reflects your work experience but is intangible. If the illusion takes any damage, it disappears, and your job application fails.

Sending
You can send a short message to a creature with which you are familiar. The creature recognizes you as the sender if it knows you and may answer if it feels so inclined. You can send the message across any distance and even to other planes of existence.
