Hi tom. while I wouldn't say no to an escape from moria type of game, one of the intrinsic problems about such a game is that like peter jaxon, you'd really have to tinker with the population of moria and locations within it. For example, the journey is relatively unevently until the

Hi Tom. Brailling a D100 would be loopy, but to be honest most rp players I know don't own d100's, indeed I've heard people complain that they have so many faces it is too difficult to spot which one is uppermost. usually what most people do is have two d10's, with the numbers 1-10, and

Hi mich. Actually I'm afraid you have your facts slightly wrong. It is not warner brothers, paramount, the bbc or anybody else who put audio descriptions on some dvds in the Uk, it is the Uk's own audio description service, which like many things in the Uk is a charity. Ironically enough

Hi, I wish I could remember where I played it before. It's been several years, and for all I know the site may have gone down since. Puerto Rico is basically a German-style board game, involving a race to get victory points by building buildings, shipping resources back to the mainland, and so

I have a copy of that on a machine somewhere. I believe that there was more to it than BSC included in pipe, the strategy being that you had to guide the ooz rather than just keep up with it. - Original Message - From: michael barnes c...@samobile.net To: gamers@audyssey.org Date

Hi Dark, That is pretty much what I would do as well. I don't own a d100 dice because they are hard to read, and can't be brailed in any case. So I would just roll a couple of d10's and do the math to come up with a reasonable random dice roll for stat checks if there were any braille d10's to be

Hi Dark, Interesting. I've never heard of the Hero's Maze game you speak of but it sounds darn cool. The dice with swords and shields on them sounds similar to the game I have, but is called something else. Sounds to me like there are more games with picture die than I first thought. Cheers!

Hi, And braille labels also don't stick on dice for too long. I use to braille label a standard set of playing dice and the sticky stuff on the labels would wear off sooner or later and I'd have to turn around and label it all over again. So even if we could label all our d4, d10, and d20

Hi Dark, No, it isn't Talisman. I think the game I'm thinking of was called Battle Master or something like that. Its a strategy game where one player commands an army of knights, wizards, etc and the other plays ogres, goblins, and orcs. The roll of the dice determines how many skulls are placed

Hi Dark, True. However, I was merely throwing the Mines of Moria idea out there as a case example of how the three books could be trimmed down to something manageable by a single developer rather than an actual idea for a LOTR game. For a real LOTR game I would probably do something along the
