[NFB-Talk] Starting on-line AD&D 5e game

[Jack Heim]

Hi all, a recent article in the New York Times talked about how disabled 
people, amputees, paraplegics,  and quadriplegics benefit from on-line 
Dungeons and Dragons games. For a long time i have been wanting to start 
an on-line game for blind people. The benefits of playing Dungeons and 
Dragons over other on-line games are that it is mostly non-visual and it 
fosters community. In D&D, the players are all on the same side. They 
cooperate to win. The result is that the other players become some of 
your best friends. Its way more enriching than listening to TV. Also, 
unlike other on-line games, the game is played entirely by voice. The 
game is almost the same over Skype or face time as it is in person.


No experience is necessary to join this group. You don't have to buy 
anything. AD&D does have a lot of rules but we can get started in a 
single evening.
