Accessible Dungeons and Dragons

Have you ever wanted to be able to be whisked away to the magical world of Dungeons and Dragons but could not because it was not accessible? Well it is now! 

Bookshare has come out with all the players manuals available to you for FREE if you have signed up with them. (Bookshare is a database of texts someone with a print disability can sign up for, free membership if you are a student.) You can download them in an audio, BRF, WORD, EPUB or Daisy file onto your computer or onto your phone using VoiceDream Reader App.  (I will do another post about Bookshare and VoiceDream Reader soon.)

You can now 3-D print any character and any braille or Nemeth version of the dice for the game, just download the design file and.... There you go.  A picture of a Nemeth D-20 (20 sided die) is below.  Now you juts need some friends and you're ready to be a Dungeon Master or any player in the fantasy world. 

Image Description: Nemeth D-20 Die. about the size of a hand-packed snowball.
