Zack, I have two specific problems with online rp.
Firstly, is simply the matter that it's online, you just don't get the
same atmosphere and level of adrenaline or camaraderie that you get with
people in the same room, Rp when done properly can be as much fun as
improvised theatre and can

I believe you are restricting yourself unnecessarily, inasmuch as tabletop RP
is alive and well online in many styles and genres. there are more games now
than their have ever been, and with websites like DriveThroughRPG people are
able to find something to far more varried tastes
@Quentin, interesting, sadly I don't speak French so can't check out
that association you mentioned in Paris, but I will say in Britain,
though we have plenty of equality based legislation, social equality for
blind people is very much not there yet, and sadly the RNIB are so
orientated
Charlse is actually correct, indeed interestingly enough, I've run into
several sighted people who play audiogames, as well as those who play
interactive audio dramas etc.
Not many of course, since most sighted people want games with graphics,
but certainly there have been enough to suggest

Hello,
Hello,
@Charles> Although I agree with a lot of what you point out, I have to
say that, in my opinion, audio games are totally accessible to sighted
gamers as long as they can hear.
In thoery you are perfectly right.
However, do you know any sighted person seriously playing at least one

Hello,
About digital games, thank to mobile devices and web technologies in
general, we have nowadays more accessible games than before, and it's
potentially easier for developers to make them accessible.
However, the games that can be done that way are only a subset of all
available genres.
There are a lot of moddable games out there to be sure.
Now I did do this on a radio show, a dnd style type deal but with
sighted games that allowed for turn based choices, some older games,
adventure, story driven games with choices and other types.
In those situations everyone joined a
I actually think the digital topic is less hopeless.
Over the 15 or so years I've been playing audiogames, I've seen both the
frequency of directly playable games, and games that could be easily
modified by the developer to be screen reader friendly increase
exponentially.
This is both due

While a lot of blind people do dabble with video games, some more
research on this topic, so there will
be various opportunities.

Survey
Survey completed, though I will admit I took the initiative and assumed
when you speak of "card and board games" you would also count tabletop
role-playing, what are sometimes incorrectly called pen and paper rpgs,
since while I've not played much by way of standard board or card games
I admit I'm a little more hopeful in terms of game participation, though
I see it more coming through the independent games sector than through
the giant first person hyper graphical multi million dollar epics of
blandness, especially since these days screen reading technology is

While a lot of blind people do dabble with video games, some more
successfully than others for me, I play text games and audio.
Due to my timezone to actually play any online game for any measurable

Wow, you're absolutely right. With videogames, I was refering to all kinds of
digital games. I will rectify the survey and use the term "digital games" in
those questions. Thanks, Luke. My mistake.

Hi.
I'm looking at the survey, but one question I have, is what do you mean
exactly by "video games" here.
Most gaming I do is either via audio or text games, especially online
gaming. I do play standard graphical games occasionally on older devices
with games that are still visually
