Hi Danielle.
Actually, I am writing the leaflet right now, and hope to have it completed
next week, after that we can go from there.
All the best,
Dark.
There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast
and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even
the archmaesters of the citadel can dream.

Well, I find it less than pleasant that our own folks are quick to do
away with and shun Braille, like poof be gone, but oh the Gods up
above if we don't accommodate those large print readin' gods and
goddeses. What would it take for starters a whole afternoon or a few
days of one's time to burn them?Then, we'd get an idea of time and
have some way to gage cost of hiring a real professional. After all,
Newsreel and Pawtracks didn't start out sounding like RCA or Cash
Money or NLS studio quality. No one round hear is a stranger to elbow
grease and just getting it done especially in the face of challenges
and obstacles! Happy to do it!I realize some of us on heare do have
check-paying jobs so.... And some of us have access to and the
know-how to record a human reading so that it doesn't sound like a
classroom recording or home cassette. Though that's not me. I was just
trying to find a solid workable solution without counting out or
disrespecting anyone's preferences. The real problem I'm having hear
right now is a whole lotta talking and discussion and not enough
action. A whole lot of what-ifs and not enough working lets-sees. At
this point we have more than enough thrown out all options. Enough
with the excuses for this or that!

An audio cd would be surprisingly difficult to make hundreds of copies

You can probably get the disks for $50 (ish), but you can only burn them
one
at a time, and each and every one would take at least 10 minutes of
active
work by the person doing the burning. I'm not saying that it'd be
impossible, but that making audio cds as a primary form of distribution
for
the entire leaflet is probably not our best idea.
Further, there'd also be the fact of narration - I know a lot of people
who
would not want to listen to what is essentially a glorified advertisement
done by synthesizer. Therefore, we'd have to have somebody narrate the
whole
thing (professionally, not some internal mic with background hiss), and
then
somebody to edit that narration.
The idea of an audiogames cd has its own merits - if we wanted, we could
put
together trailors of a number of different games and distribute them on
the
cd along with our introduction, but I think that such a project is a bit
beyond the scope of what we're currently considering.

Braille and an audio CD. Simple. Large print readers are covered by an
audio option. Done.
