Hi everyone,

Recently I'd been thinking about some of the activities I enjoy doing,
and pondering the accessibility of them.  One of my hobbies is playing
tabletop (non-computer) roleplaying games, such as Dungeons and
Dragons, which involves maps, character sheets, dice, miniatures, and
other such visual artifacts to create a shared fictional scenario
between a gamemaster and her players.

So now I'm curious about the accessibility of roleplaying games.  Is
there anyone out there who is a blind gamer, or who knows of one?
If so, please feel free to contact me off the list at [log in to unmask];
I'm interested in hearing/reading what the experience is like.  You
can pass this note around if you like.

I've already discovered that you can get GURPS game supplements in
Braille or on cassette, and the d20 system (Third Edition DnD game)
has been available in electronic format via the Open Gaming
License.  The above won't mean anything to people who aren't
fellow gamer geeks. :)
