Besides, dnd belongs to the people—not some corporation. Always has. Always will.

I'm Jacob (or Cobb or cobbland, or Illuminated Snail if you're feeling fancy). I mostly write tabletop roleplaying games and adventures. I'm also working on a novel and write the occasional short story (mostly scifi). And I'm neck-deep in learning full-stack web development. I also enjoy watercolor painting, retro gaming, graphic design, sustainability, and stuff.
