Heroes Wanted!
Thank you, brave adventurer, for answering the call. In these trying times adventurers can be hard to find, heroes even more so. Heroes come from all walks of life and have their own reasons for aspiring to travel this path. What matters most is the drive and desire to be a force of good in the world, and change things for the better.
Changing the world of tabletop roleplaying games as we know it is no small task. We are constantly working on new designs for dice and other accessibility friendly gaming aids, partnering with publishers to make their content more accessible, and so much more. As a fully altruistic endeavor run by just a few people during our free time, there are many things to do. We're so grateful for everyone who reaches out to us wanting to help however they can! Here's a few things you can do that would help the DOTS RPG Project succeed:
Share!
The easiest thing anyone can do to help is share, share, share!

Note: the braille face is largely cosmetic, this die created for sighted players to raise awareness for the work we do and the need for accessible gaming aids. We do not recommend anyone who relies on braille use this die.
Learn Braille!
Fewer than 10% of the blind population uses braille because there are not that many things available in braille for them. The more sighted individuals that learn it, the greater the chances that new products will be developed for braille readers. It may seem like a daunting task, but if you have a player that uses it and has our dice, they will greatly appreciate it. We have plenty of guides to help you learn, and many more resources are available. Plus, it never hurts to expand your horizons and learn something new!
However you can help, it is greatly appreciated. With the help of the amazing members of the gaming community, we look forward to improving the experience for disabled gamers worldwide!
