Again, thank you very much Luke. You know, I just hope that inclusiveness in gaming don't look as remote as it currently looks. It's possible that the big developers will never consider it, you're right. But I think any step that goes beyond accessibility on the road to inclusion is a very valuable step, wherever it comes from. I also prefer tabletop games to be with my family and friends. I'm working on the Informatics department and as such I will focus my research on digital gaming. If it were by my will the focus would probably be on analog games. I hope to continue and center my research on this topic, so there will be various opportunities.

Sadly it seems most people over the age of thirty are only interested in increasing the worlds' population and/or killing their brains with alcohol, and even when I've tried the places that should! promote tabletop games such as gaming shops, they only seem to do ccgs and tabletop miniature wargames which are %100 inaccessible, indeed a cynical part of me wonders if they promote those since those are the interests they can sell more supplies at, where as rpgs don't need more than the odd rulebook or set of dice. It's a major shame, especially since my wife hadn't done it before, but loved the one occasion she got to try it out and really wants to do more, but it seems to have completely fallen off the map as an interest, at least around here. Indeed it's odd, online gaming wise I'm very much a loner. I don't mind dropping someone a healing potion or doing some light trading, but I'd rather go off and explore the world myself, complete quests where I can make a difference and generally be my own master than try to get into rping with anyone else. However, offline around a table, with a real human Gm whose as adaptive as the players, that changes absolutely! indeed, part of the reason I don't like role-playing online, is that it seems so pale to me compared to the real thing. Anyway, at least I got to do it for a bit. All the best, Dark. _._,_. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
