I'm not sure Charles.
for "what is available" a quick look at audiogames.net or pcsgames.net is
pretty conclusive that there is a lot out there, and I directed them to
such.
i offered to put together a ful on presentation and head down to London to
show them, but I got the response that most blind people were not interested
in such things and it was a minority concern, and therefore not worth their
time in promoting.
Beware the Grue!

So, maybe what you need is proof to back up your claims. Maybe, if enough
feedback on what gamers are truly interested in, along with information
showing the RNIB that such games and developers do indeed exist, were
presented to the RNIB, with gamers letting the RNIB know that we would,
indeed, buy such games from them if they make them available, the RNIB
might get a clue.

Unfortunately Charles you've hit the nale on the head.
right from the age of 7 I've tried to point out to the Rnib that not all
blind people are eldily, but they've taken small notice.
They for example refused to help or even offer suggestions on access to
tabletop rp, they claimed that I was the only person who'd be interested
in such things.
They had a similar response when i asked them about the possibility of
brailling fighting fantasy gamebooks, and when I tried to get them to
reccord more literature that would be favourable to younger people.
You can get braille knitting patterns from them, but they don't even
considder the possibility someone would want a tactile role playing dice.
This is just what I mean about them.
the problem is in the Uk, they are the first port of call for anyone who
loses their vision, and thus their word has a great deal of weight, which
is why I find the fact that they refuse to acknolidge that other
developers besides Azabat exist so frustrating.
All the best,
Dark.
