SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

When is a wheelchair not a wheelchair?

Something to keep in mind is to make sure you differentiate this fetish crap from player accessibility.

There's nothing wrong with the latter. Hell, I've done that with a friend of mine who has poor eyesight. We printed extra-large font copies of his character sheets, and got him some large dice to roll and he was good to go. Another friend is in a wheelchair; we just cleared a space at the table and made sure she could roll up to it without problems.


Sadly, that needed to be said. And I concur - accessibility for impaired players is just good manners.

When Im doing playtesting font size is the first thing I look at and its often the first thing I have to report as a problem. Its a very common thing overlooked even by the big companies.

Problem is that these SJWs love to preach but seem loath to actually do anything other than "make gaming more welcoming" as if it never was before.
And all their "representation" of us ends up being so demeaningly basic. And in the now overused wheelchair, impractical.

The leggychair in the OP is a great idea. Weird to be sure. But it shows some creativity in approaching the problems.
