My first disabled character was a low-vision half-orc oracle in Pathfinder 1e. He used a glaive as a weapon and a cane. (Impractical IRL, but cool in a fantasy setting.)

Want to listen to a couple RPG geeks talking about #DnD, #disabilities, and #representation? I had a great time talking to @AccessibleGames about Limitless Champions and what it's all about. Fan or skeptic, you'll enjoy this interview: youtu.be/Wl_lbvgcX34
I recently interviewed Dale Critchley about Limitless Champions. He's making disabled fantasy miniatures, and his KS has less than two days to go.
Check out the campaign:

You know how other marginalized people used to be excluded from #DnD? Why are we still OK with the 2nd largest marginalized demographic having effectively zero representation in #TTRPG? buff.ly/42s5APU

Oh, wow. This takes me back a few years. :)
This is an awesome video about circumstances and limitations shaping you. Jacob from @AccessibleGames is wise and gently rather hilarious. youtube.com/watch?v=HIg6Edma…
Who's that mentioned in a new Wired article?

Hey folks,
Had a chat yesterday with @Troy_GameDev. He's interested in meeting other folks in the disabled gaming community. Video or tabletop.
Reach out to him directly, or DM me if you'd like a coonnection.
We're looking for new authors and illustrators to contribute to Accessible Gaming Quarterly.
If you're a disabled gamer or an ally and would like to get paid to contribute, please reach out.
DM me or visit bit.ly/AGQContribute for more information.
Web host: We don't have phone support anymore. Please submit an online ticket.
Me: That form requires CAPTCHA with no audio option. What is a blind person supposed to do?
WH: Normally they have a web dev / admin.
Me: I am my admin.
WH: That's unusual.
