I cannot say thank you enough for providing a text only copy. As a screen reader user who so often has to find out only after purchase if a PDF is accessible or not, it is refreshing to run into plain text versions in the wild that take the guesswork out. I haven't played yet, erading htrough now but going to start soon. This should prove interesting to say the least. I've heard nothing but good things. I'm just sad I managed to just miss the sequel game you are making as far as backing it. Bah. Ah well, hope to see it soon enough and can't wait. Please keep up the good work!

Just picked this up, but as a blind screen reader user, the PDF can't be parced at all. Adobe tells me it is a malformed document, or more likely it is an image PDF? I honestly have no idea. But would it be possible to get this in a word or plain text format? I say Word as it can do tables and I understand there are some associated with this game. Have heard all great things and wanted to give it a go. Thanks for your time!
From the tiny bit I've managed to parce from the PDF I think this is going to be awesome. I love seeing the story someone else has ctreated with this. I'm always looking for things like this to do when out and about especially because I am blind. That said, I wound like to pretty please request a Word Doc or Google Doc version of this? I think there are tables in here that would not translate to epub orp lain text files well. I ask because the PDF does not read well at all my with screen reader. I can't OCR it to pull the text either, it is fairly jumbled and unfortunately I have no one who would be able to read it or shorthand it all to me in a more accessible format. I love what you have planned here and want to be able to share it with others. Thanks for your consideration!
This looks absolutely adorable. I'm a totally blind gamer and unfortunately the PDF causes some issues for me. Is there any chance a text only version could be made available by chance? I can read bits and pieces but not all of it and other parts are just jumbledy messes. I love the premise of this and hope I get a chance to play it soon!
Well, it has been since September 1st that I've been working on this. It has blossomed into a once weekly post on Mastodon sharing the story of Aspen Morningtide living in Stonehaven. It is now summer and while I started out writing aily, life has gotten mad and now I do it once a week if that, but still loving this. It is my peace in a crazy world. Here is a link to the document that is published from Docs where I write. I Then figure out how many mastodon posts on a server that allows up to 3000 characters per post it will take and put the posts up. The longest was six posts long. Most are two to four. Thank you for aw onderful little slice of happiness. I think people are really enjoying what i'm creating and it makes me happy. https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vQykr9HYVBjaSjY6n3_Cv7jth8S-LhgU...
I am about to start playing this, have had it for awhile and just have to say a huge THANK YOU for the text only book and card list. as a screen reader user it is the most appreciated thing ever. Even the PDF works well and the card list one parces okay, but this makes it so much easier. Thank you! EDIT: Just a small note, the text only card list is missing the Major arcana from 16-21, only just noticed this, hee. I freshly downloaded these too.
Where is the site to get fillable character sheets? I have scoured to try and find it but can't. Also, as a blind gamer, from a first glance at the main book, thank you for properly tagging this. I have just gotten this thanks to someone mentioning it on the Solo RPG reddit post about Solitaria and wanted to check it out because I'm a sucker for Animal Crossing esque games. Thanks for this. I'll report back if I run into any issues and my screen reader, hee.
Hello! So, I haven't gotten to dig into this much but I just purchased this. As a totally blind tabletop gamer I am happy to see that so far this book looks to be totally accessible, save maybe the images. I have a few suggestions that can hopefully be made to make it even better. I'm sure I will find some other things to add as I actually play.
None of the images appear to be given alt text or marked up in the book, and I don't know if they are necessarily vital to the gameplay, like I said, I just literally bought it and skimmed but hope to sit down with it this weekend for a better look.
I would also suggest adding headings throughout for easier navigation through sections. I know most people can't benefit, but it would also help separate sections from each other and group sections together in sections and sub sections under the same chapter or what not.
So far the tables seem to be good, which was my biggest fear. Honestly the demo isn't tagged up, but the other form with the character sheet seems to be so I gave this a shot.
On the area playkit I'd love to see actual fillable form fields, at least to my screen reader there aren't but it is nicely tagged so I can likely make something of my own devising up in Word or something but this would be a nice thing to be able to keep track digitally. Seriously, I know several people who are VI or blind who would likely jump on this.
When I saw this last night promoted on Reddit on the Solo RPG reddit I had to look at this and give it as hot. I sincerely want to see this become something amazing. I sincerely hope that I can provide better feedback, but those are the few things I can suggest at the moment. Thank you for such an awesome sounding game of which is similar to Animal Crossing, I can only partially play it and have missed benefitting from everything like I used to when I still had sight. This may very well scratch that itch and I love it.
Thanks!
Hey, just have to say I checked this out a while back when it was free and kind of forgot about it, until someone mentioned it again. Bought it on Steam and love it. I love the ability to turn off ASCII as a screen reader user. This game is super accessible being played in what is basically a command prompt window. It is hard to find fun, engaging games that are fully accessible without some kind of huge long mod process, so thank you from myself and several other blind and VI folks I know that play this.
