We realized that gaming misses a lot even with eyes wide open thanks to @snarkbat

from Fresh out of Tokens · host Fresh Out of Tokens

Elsa Sjunneson-Henry shared a lot of insights with us about disability in gaming, where some games hit things on the head and others miss by a long shot. We also discussed ways in which disability can be accounted for, and how it's often overlooked in tabletop as well as videogames. We’re part of the Geeked.fm network along with Geeks in Sneaks, Chromatic Life and More than Bits. We have tees, and other items in the #INeedDiverseGames spreadshirt shop. We’re splitting the profits 50/50 with Chachibobinks. There’s a blog to compliment the show!

Musical accompaniment for Fresh Out of Tokens is provided by Mike Moody. You can hear more of her work at: http://soundcloud.com/mikemoody-1 Questions for Elsa: Via Awesome_John Do you prefer Hamilton's brown or green coat? What's the best gaming medium to engage a sightless audience? Also, would you consider a greater failing to be assuming audience homogeny or uninspired text? Via Thain1982 If you had an unlimited budget and any development team you wanted, what game would you like to design? What are your thoughts on the "disability as superpower" trope (as in Daredevil or upcoming game Perception)? Are games making steps toward welcoming disabled gamers or have pushes for accessibility largely stagnated? What we’re playing/reading: Elsa: Life is Strange / re reading NIGHT OWLS by Lauren Roy Tanya: Oxenfree, DAI (Romancing Sera) David: Fallout 4: Automatron (also, I had a testgroup Sunday that went well).
