Re: [Audyssey] D & D Question
Hi. I did write a dice program that could help with some of these types of games. It puts all of it's results and things in combo boxes that can be navigated, making them navigable without speech, either with or without braille at that. It does give speech output but that can be turned off. It supports rerolling either single or multiple die that may have gotten the same result. So for instance if you want to reroll all the 1's. It can roll a 1d1 all the way up to 30d100. If anybody actually uses this and really needs me to go higher let me know. If anyone wants it it can be found at http://valiant8086.com/pkb. It's free. Runs on windows xp and up, 32 and 64 bit both as far as I can tell. It might possibly run on windows 98, but I'm not sure about that. - Original Message - From: "Hayden Presley" To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 9:03 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] D & D Question Hi, That would be great, if they had an online accessible version of that game, either online or downloadable.

Re: [Audyssey] D & D Question
I played MTG for years. I don't know if my Brailling advice will help you, because I carried a Pacmate or Braille Lite with me whenever I played. On the magic cards, I would use a letter for the card's color, and then a number indicating which card of that color it was. I'll give you examples from blue, as I used to play a blue and white deck quite frequently, and still remember many of the cards. I used the letter U for blue, since I'd already used B for black. The seventeenth blue card I acquired was clone, so on the card I wrote, U17. That's all that appeared on the card. Then, when that card was in my hand, I could look up U17 on the Pacmate, and the entire card text for Clone would appear. Similarly, U45 was counterspell, U33 was Vesuvian Doppleganger, and so forth. If I had to do over nowadays, I would do a few things differently. First of all, I would Braille the card sleeves instead of the cards. This allows me to still identify my cards, but preserves their collectability for future resale value. Second, at the bottom of the card, I'd probably put the monster's attack and defense values. Other than that, I'd probably do it the same. I haven't played MTG in years, and sold my unbrailled cards for thousands of dollars. I was incredibly lucky because, shortly after the game was released, I bought a mixed alpha and beta set, entirely complete, for $100. The guy didn't like the game, and no one knew back then how incredibly collectible the game would become. So, how have you gone about Brailling the game? -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Travis Siegel Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 7:35 AM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] D & D Question Tsr is the owner of the D&D trademark.

I just prefer making use of straight text files in notepad, since it doesn't try to interfere with any editing etc. Same way nowadays when reading almost any form of eBook on the computer thats not already in audio format, I just convert it to plain text, and open it in notepad, and just copy and paste the last line was busy reading right at the top as a form of placemarker to find next time.

Re: [Audyssey] D & D Question
If you're talking about actually playing it with other people, all I've done is put together my own dice rolling things: http://www.blindza.co.za/dice/ Have also got one or two other things am working on to manage character sheets, but otherwise, just use a text file that edit on my laptop while we're playing RuneQuest (the instance/version we play).

Re: [Audyssey] D & D Question
Cool! I hadn't realized 4th ed stuff was available. When i first played D&D in the year 2000, I did in fact used to have a Cd with all the second ed books, including the players' hand book, dungeon masters' guide, monster manual and many of the class and race specific books, in word format. The only annoyence is those were the 2nd ed books, and I was playing 3rd Ed. i actually wrote a letter to tsr asking if they planned accessible ms word versions of the 3rd ed books (this was a couple of years before I got on the net), and they sent back a chalming response: "no!" I even once tried to interest the rnib here in England on making many sided braille dice and getting the rights to the books, on the basis that tabletop rp is something which blind people can do equally as well as anyone else, --- but given that the rnib really aren't interested in anyone under the age of 60 this was something of a none starter unfortunately. Glad the books are available though. Beware the Grue!

Hi, Yeah, it is called Entombed and it costs $40 USD as I recall.

Re: [Audyssey] D & D Question
Hi Steve. Dungeons and dragons isn't a game, it's a roleplaying system. Some mainstram games like Baldurs gate have used it, but no accessible game has as yet (for one thing the licensing would be a fortune!), but primarily it is intended for a group of players sitting around a table with a Gm rolling dice. This may be done over skype or another chat program (as Phil vlasac does), but generally it's more usual to play it with live groups. I myself play the super hero varient, mutants and msterminds, every saturday with a group of friends. You can buy and download some of the rulebooks as pdfs, though sadly not the latest 4th edition ones, at http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/ And you can find a general summery of the rules (though I'm not certain how up to date it is), at http://srd.plush.org/ but really to play D&D you'll need to find a Gm and osme players running a tabletop game. hth.
