Accessibility in Tales Of The Shire We visit the Shire for second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper!

There's nothing like a warm meal with friends. ๐Ÿฅ”๐ŸŒฟ

In Tales of the Shire we invited our Hobbit friends to share some potato stew for second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper! And at every meal, we found accessibility right at the table!

I've known Steve for a number of years and he is genuinely one of the warmest people I know!

Dungeons & Disableds is an amazing way to bring disability representation to a beloved franchise, and Steve does a great job honouring the soul of DnD with chaos and humour! Definitely support it! ๐ŸคŸ

Literally my FAVOURITE Soulsborne game! The story is memorable, the fights are hauntingly beautiful, and Krat feels like it's in its swan song.

If you think about itโ€”someone had to INVENT subtitles. Someone had to INVENT volume controls, remappable controls, gyro-aiming, etc.. Everything had to be INVENTED at some point before they became mainstream.

This one! ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฃ

As a Deaf person, I sometimes don't know what accommodations are possible until I see it. Disabled people gaslight themselves all the time on what's possible or not; so, it's not unrealistic to think they wouldn't know where to start when asking for more accessibility options.

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.
