Jacob Wood

Accessible Games is a small press publisher dedicated to bringing the fun and joy of tabletop role-playing and hobby board games to everyone, including (and especially) people with disabilities. My name is Jacob Wood and I’ve been playing tabletop games since I was about 12 years old. It wasn’t long before my friends and I were designing rudimentary RPGs and re-purposing boardgames, but it was over a decade before I professionally published Psi-punk, my first book. Today I live in Kentucky and design games with an eye on accessibility. I’m legally blind and know many of the challenges involved in playing tabletop games with a disability. In addition to designing games, I advocate for improving accessibility throughout the gaming hobby. I’m a member of the Indie game Developers Network and an active member of the RPGGeek.com community. I believe gaming is a community hobby and am proud to promote groups of designers and players alike.
