James Jacobs has been with Pathfinder publisher Paizo for more than 20 years, having served multiple roles as an editor and manager during those decades. He’s currently the narrative creative director for the Pathfinder Roleplaying game, and has contributed to hundreds of roleplaying games ranging from Pathfinder to Starfinder to Dungeons & Dragons and beyond, including several award-winning roleplaying game adventures, such as the very first Pathfinder Adventure Path installment, “Burnt Offerings,” back in 2007. He grew up in the small town of Point Arena, California, attended UC Davis where he studied creative writing with an emphasis on medieval history, and then moved north to Washington state. He lives in Redmond, Washington, and hopes, some day, to see Bigfoot in the wild.
