Question for people in the #TTRPG community: What're the best ways to accommodate accessibility when releasing a new game?

Is it best to have a straight .txt file? Or are things like .doc and .docx better for using text to speech and other accessibility tools?

I love that it’s 90% just sketched out except where you HAD to use yellow to show the CHEEESE

Yeah! This is so incredibly true. Not only susceptible but it really seems to sneak out of nowhere when it hits me.

Definitely something I’ve been trying to be more aware of.

I can’t get over how crazy this is. They’re so indiscriminate and sloppy that they literally gassed dozens of cops. Nobody is safe.

CPD just relieved feds from this line too. Then a moment later the feds gassed the whole area, including the cops.

It’s been on the back burner the last couple months, but I’ve been working on a gmless game with a version of Otherkind Dice at its core.

This is my weekly reminder to get back to it as soon as I have time.

Every episode I sit down with a game designer and we make a tabletop game from scratch in about an hour!

It’s been great fun hearing a bunch of different designers philosophies and ideas around design.

Has anyone in the #TTRPG space put their game out with a reflowable EPUB alongside it rather than a plain txt version?

It seems like it would be a boon for accessibility since there’s so much flexibility, and I’ve often wished it were easier to throw games on my e-reader for when I’m not home.

I would be curious to see the numbers on how many people actually play campaigns that last more than one year.

Everyone I know who’s in ‘forever campaigns’ is playing biweekly or monthly and it’s not that many people.

3-5 hours once or twice a month is a decently smaller commitment.

At a time where economic hardships are looming, it’s more important than ever to invest in public transportation.

I hope @govpritzker.illinois.gov takes care of this.
