The only physical dice I have worked with are the traditional 6-sided
variety. They have holes to determine the number. Don't these other gaming
dice? If so, no modification would be necessary. I would think that there
would be just as much need for accessible dice as there is for those that
are not accessible. Blind people are no different than sighted people
except that our eyes don't give feedback.

Hi folks.
I have a couple of questions for you.
First, are there any startups or established concerns out there to
produce gaming dice for we blind individuals? I don't mean six-sided
jobbies. I mean fours, eights, tens, twenties, percentiles... stuff
like that. Are any people or companies making dice that we can read?
I ask that for two separate and distinct reasons. The first is that I
want to know. Everyone around me has a set of gaming dice, and while I
certainly appreciate GMADice and others for my computer, GamerKit and
others for my iPhone, so forth and so on, I'd really rather have my
own set of shake 'em and roll 'em dice. It makes the game much more
visceral, and I think that's important.
The second reason is this. If nobody is aking dice, I want to know the
demand here and elsewhere for those dice. I want people to spread the
word. Ask their gamer buddies. Please, tell me if it's worth the time
and effort to make them, because I'd be interested in trying. I have
the means and the resources, with your committed support and
encouragement, if it's something you guys want.
Thanks for reading, and keep on rolling.
Signed:
Dakotah Rickard
