Please read this very important thread from one of our #PAXU AFGL storytellers on #AccessibilityInTabletop Thank you @mimicsnmisfits.com for your vulnerability & transparency. this is such a great example of how we will make gaming more accessible together! 💜

I was at PAX U over the weekend and saw this booth that had resources for all sorts of folks with disabilities (but also could and do apply to new players). Think stuff like easy to read visual aides, step by step instructions, walkthrough guides, etc.

Proper mobility aids for all!!! Our disabled crew’s first timer experience was better than most thanks to our friends at @dotsrpg.org thoroughly prepping & supporting us. Here’s to more mobility aids & disabled joy at PAX U 2026 💜

Raises for Kareem & Rafael, please! Philly convention center staff in the PAX U Crab God Theater on Saturday 💜 got autocaptions working for the Diverse Parties Slay panel #AccessibleTabletop @blackhalo.bsky.social @charmfoolery.bsky.social @cristobal55.bsky.social @witheringcrown.bsky.social
