I am a Dungeons and Dragons player, myself; have been playing, off and on, for twenty-six or so years. And, for anyone who is interested, the 5th edition of the game is probably the best one yet; easy to learn, but lots of character diversity. On 11/10/16, Phil Vlasak wrote: > the role-playing g

Hi Nancy, Neither have I. I suspect Charles made an assumption based on the d6 die he has used and assumed that all dice were that way, but as we both know that's not the case. The d10, d12, d20, etc have numbers on them not holes and are not very tactile and are inaccessible. Cheers! On 5/28/1

Hi Charles, Not for DND. The standard DND dice have numbers on them instead of holes or dots which makes them difficult to feel. Plus the 10 sided and 20 sided dice makes them hard to properly label given the unique shape of the die. So I don't think using standard RPG die in this case would work

Tyler, are you looking for true D&D, or just an RPG with swords, magic, dragons, and other D&D related things? There's a lot of online servers for such things, just not many that are true D&D rules. Dennis Towne Alter Aeon MUD http://www.alteraeon.com On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 11:04 AM, dark wr

Hi Charlse. Most rp dice I've seen don't have spots like the usual D6's you might get with a game of monopoly or whatever. They have actual printed numbers which aren't tactile, which makes sense given your dealing with dice with up to 20 sides so you'd have to be putting lots of spots in a sm

I don't know exactly what you mean about "blind accessible" dungeons and dragons, sinse Dungeons and dragons is perfectly accessible to play with sighted people provided you have either a copy of the manual (or can get one read), and some dice to roll. The manuals can be bought in electronic f
