Hi Tom.
You do certainly have a point there, certainly in my family with three
visually impared people, two of whome, (my mum and I), braille users,
brailling board games is something we've done for years. Indeed over
christmas we'll probably play some card games or maybe Yachzee, and if we
play Yachtzee my mum and I will both braille score sheets.
Although when I investigated getting fighting fantasy books done, I was told
that the cost would be prhibitive, which is of course the concern since
while braille embossing isn't itself an intrinsically expensive process as
usual with anything to do with accessibility, you can put on several extra
zeroes.
I actually got a great example of this recently when going to Tgi fridays
with my brother. This is one of the few restaurant chains in the Uk that
has braille menus, (I assume they do in the states as well). However, their
braille menu is about two years out of date, and still shows things they no
longer serve, not to mention missing off their specialist offer.
when I asked why this was I was told that getting a new braille menu
embossed would be too expensive.
This isn't to say it's a bad idea, just that with any coorporation I am
scheptical of motives, ---- still if you don't ask, you don't find out.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
