When I started Accessible Games in 2010, I knew that people with disabilities were woefully underrepresented in our hobby. I received validation of that fact everywhere. From local conventions to GenCon, from RPGGeek to Twitter, I encountered story after story about the difficulties people with disabilities often face when participating in the hobby.

Accessible Gaming Quarterly is my answer to that problem. This zine, funded through Kickstarter by a community of people with disabilities and our allies, raises awareness of accessibility and disability in the RPG hobby. We’re bringing together writers, designers, and artists to showcase and represent the many talents of disabled creators and giving a voice to their stories.

This inaugural issue of the zine features seven articles, including:

“Forward: Accessibility is the New Normal” by Justin Oldham
“Playing Blind” by Jacob Wood
“A Different Vision of RPGs” by Justin Oldham
“Not Just Disadvantages” by T Dave Silva
Orc Sorceress Illustration and Background by Thomas Carter
“Reenvisioning Conventions” by Elsa Henry
“Power Outage Review” by Jacob Wood
