oh, so we would be able to play this game then? how does it work? you mean you actually have to write things down for it? so how would that work if we're blind? regards, damien - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 3:53 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paper RPG Hi Brian, This list is open to any game that is accessible or can be made accessible to blind and low vision gamers weather it is board games, pen and paper games, video games, audio games etc...

Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paper RPG
Indeed, though on the occasions I've played with sited gm's, they tend to prefer all the character related info to be in a format which they can read, -- such as a text or word file, which is why I use a laptop for AdD (and I'm now a far better typist than braillest anyway).

You can get an accessible dice rolling program like GMA dice to do the rolls, or you can have a fellow game player roll the dice for you. As for writing things down you are going to want to keep some sort of accessible log for your character with important information such as: amount of money you are carrying, current health, experience points, skill levels reached, and so on. In some pen and paper games there can be quite allot of info generated. The ideal solution is to just keep a log in a notepad text file, but you can use a braille writer, braille N Speak,whatever you wish to keep track of your character stats. damien c. sadler - head of x-sight interactive wrote: oh, so we would be able to play this game then? how does it work? you mean you actually have to write things down for it? so how would that work if we're blind? regards, damien ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paper RPG
Depending on how the game is done you could do this in notepad. I have to do this with messages in sod so I remember sequences. paus and alt tab. If its physically writing is it pen write or command entering as in an text adventure. oh, so we would be able to play this game then? how does it work? you mean you actually have to write things down for it? so how would that work if we're blind? regards, damien - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 3:53 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paper RPG Hi Brian, This list is open to any game that is accessible or can be made accessible to blind and low vision gamers weather it is board games, pen and paper games, video games, audio games etc...

Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paper RPG
Pen and paper gaming is a misnomer. Originally, role-playing games were released exclusively as paper books. When you designed a character for the game, you wrote down all your choices on a piece of paper on what's called a character sheet. When I began playing such games 25 years ago, I simply made my choices and had a friend write them down for me. Nowadays, many game companies are releasing their rules in electronic formats that we can use. As for character sheets, you can now complete them in Word or Notepad or some other similar application, and print them out if your gamemaster wants a hard copy. There are also Web sites for specific game systems where you can fill out an HTML form and then print out the nicely formatted character sheet that will make your GM happy. Thus, pen and paper might also be referred to as keyboard and disk, or something similar. Role-playing games are one type of game where we really aren't at a disadvantage at all when we play. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of shaun everiss Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 8:27 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paper RPG Depending on how the game is done you could do this in notepad.
