My third session in Celtic Wolf’s campaign with some other people at the Loading Ready Run community discord.

In this session, my yuan-ti warlock got unmasked as not human (not that she was doing that great a job beforehand):

“I think everyone in this party has darkvision.

Oh! wait! I didn’t say that. I am a perfectly average human person who can’t see in the dark. Someone please light a torch so I can see please.”

“Smooth.”

I also got to summon my flying snake familiar (And I really should add the image the GM found of a cute winged snake to her character sheet) and make use of her abilities in a fight.

Aside from that we had a rather painful encounter with a daemon and picked up some hints of bad things going on.

Is it assumed that games run in the community will use video and voice? Is it uncommon for people to just use voice?

I was asked to run some Dungeon World for a new group (traditional roleplayers, who now use a diceless system, would be new to collaborative RPGs) that includes a blind member. I have never GM’d for a blind person before and I am a little concerned of how much DW relies on sight to navigate one’s class moves. I want to do everything not to make them feel like they are missing out on anything or have to memorize all their moves.

We would play online, over teamspeak as it is what this group is using now. I would rather stay with something they are used to, then introduce any new software, but maybe you know of any better blind friendly solutions for playing online?

But, the crux of my post is asking for advice for running DW or other PbtA games online for blind players. Anyone has experience with it?

Should I switch to something that does not rely on player moves as much, like World of Dungeons perhaps?

Thanks in advance,

So I don’t have anything profound to say, just hello and thank you for welcoming me to the group! I’ve been devouring all the play podcasts and some of the theory podcasts as well, and now I’m a patreon (thank you tax returns). I’m hoping to join one of the games (although it looks like they are all mostly full currently. Later, I hope to have earned enough cred to even gasp run a game or two.

Two reports today going over four different game sessions.

Two reports today going over four different game sessions.

In the unnamed campaign I play with some fans from the Loading Ready Run discord, we went to go negotiate with some goblins. The first group were nomadic and fine to move on, but first the chief wanted us to rescue his daughter who had been kidnapped by another clan further to the north.

One thing I’ve found about the format of Zihu’s hymns is that it’s harder to interject humor into those than it was the ballads in the Princes of the Apocalypse story. My party is a bit disturbed by the results of death by radiant damage (think Raiders of the Lost Ark) and are also inordinately concerned with the Create Bonfire cantrip. Though as it currently stands, I am the primary healer of the team.

I will note that the ballistae and troll were both legit scary to run into as 2nd level characters.

We’ve hit third level now, the barbarian chose to go with Storm Herald, Zihu is going pact of the chain so she can get a flying snek that can convey her heals via a boop on the snoot. The bard and rogue I don’t think have chosen their archetypes yet.

Meanwhile, we’ve had three sessions of the crossroads campaign but two of those were short sessions focused mostly on our team doing basic set-up of her stronghold and figuring out how to look for and recruit people as well as take on jobs for the center. My brother really likes to do management style games so he’s quite good at setting up this sort of thing. It does mean a bit of time getting set up though.

We’ve rescheduled our meeting time so that I’m more conscious for game and the most recent game went much better going 5 hours in total. Though we still spent most of that investigating and hanging out an open air cafe waiting for the cavalier we want to recruit before trying her house and having to go rescue her.

In any case, given Kanti is a bit more wordy in her journal than Zihu it’s easier to show the exact events, though I tend to have her skim over them a little bit.

Video Updated

Since the google toolbox for hangouts seems to have gone the way of the Dodo. I have put together this quick rough video on how to use OBS to get your Lower 3rd back and also add other graphical elements to your Hangout camera.

there are a few steps. I may re-record this later if I can find some time to do a bit more production value on it. but the basics of using OBS to do Lower 3rd in Hangouts is here.

NOTE this really will only help Windows users. if your on Mac or Linux you will need to hunt down a different Virtual Camera Output plugin for OBS..
