if they don't want to play certain games they don't have to.
fundamentalism is something relatively new. If you go back 1500 to 2000
years you will find there was only one christian church. Americans
should really study their history and educate themselves on what is true
and what is not based on historically and scientifically accurate
information and then tie it in with religion to form a reasonable and
logically based conclusion based on both faith history science and reason.

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!
