Hi Tom.
I don't doubt your correct, however there is another side to the coin.
christian fundamentalism, and likewise the concern about offending such
fudnamentalists is I believe at least in mainstream form something pretty
specific to the states.
The Rnib for example do as I've said promote the Azabat games (albiet they
don't seem interested in promoting any others), which do include several
card games like blackjack, and the Rnib sell braille playing cards as well.
?
Also, bare in mind what I'm proposing here. I'm not suggesting that
organizations actively sell games by blind developers, just that a general
informational leaflet can be created detailing some basic information about
types of games, some bennifits from playing games with perhaps a couple of
exampples and suggestions on where to get more information that
organizations could stick on their "general additional info" table at
conventions and the like.
?
Yes the leaflet might say that traditional games including card games were
available, but simply saying something is available shouldn't be offensive
to anyone, or at least I'd not assume so, sinse it's still their choice to
get or not. The important thing in such an introduction however which you do
bring up is that it mentions the scope of different types of games, so that
if someone say was against all possible interpreted game violence or against
gambling in the way you describe and wouldn't countenance anything with
playing cards, they'd be aware that other games were available.
?
For example, in the section describing first person navigation, it would be
important to also mention Terraformers as well as games like shades of doom
sinse Terraformers is largely a puzzle game and involves little by way of
shooting or violence and none against living creatures, neither does it have
any horror elements the way shades, swamp, or pappasangre do.
?
Beware the grue!
