I 3d printed some Braille dice to donate to my local game café today! I wish I could make a braille instruction card to go with them....

#accessibility #ttrpg

@mortaine Ooh, nice, I think I dowloaded (or bought?) the files for those as well quite some time ago, but never got to get them printed.

Mhh, you could just buy thin cardboard and use one of those manual braille punchboards to create the card.

I think I should have mine laying around and could TRY it, if getting it shipped wouldn't complicate it further...if I can find that thing.

Either way: Very nice idea from you!

@mortaine I had fairly good results using a cricut-maker 3 for printing up braille texts using the debossing tips. There's probably a local crafter with one who could do the instruction cards for you?
@mortaine Oooh, want to touch and learn them. 🎲
@mortaine How are the plus/minus cube dice used?
@controlc @mortaine Fate. It is a ttrpg system that use them. Through 4 and you get results -4 to +4, with normal distribution. It is so popular!
@controlc @mortaine even/odd? Faces/tails? Maybe a coin would be better, but I think that may be useful for this

@MascarellDiego @controlc They are Fate or Fudge dice, used in the wonderful rules-lite Fate RPG by Evil Hat! In Fate, you roll 4 of these together and add your skill or attribute to them when you're trying to do something.

These are gorgeous! I wonder how hard it would be to print/paint roman numerals on them so sighted people could learn braille. @mortaine

@scallops Great question!

The DOTS project actually addresses that in their FAQ. In essence, the moment of anticipation while you read the numbers is an exciting experience. If the sighted people at the table could read the dice before the person who rolled them, it would take away from the excitement for that person.

@mortaine I hadn't thought of that, makes sense.
