A tabletop role-playing game lovingly hosted by a nerd you met on the Internet is reportedly more accommodating of your needs than any Disability Confident employer you’ve ever had.
Yuichi Suzuki, 34, began your group game of Swords ‘n’ Sages with an in-depth explanation of gameplay, which he has also provided in writing without being asked. In fact, Suzuki appears to have pre-empted every accessibility concern you could have had and designed a protocol for managing the needs of every player, making you wish you could quit your marketing job to become a full-time wizard.
Suzuki said: “I’ve sent everyone a form to fill in with a list of content warnings, plus some space to write in if there’s anything else you’d find distressing. Anything marked ‘red’ will absolutely not be in the game, and anything in yellow I’ll check in about with the table first. We may be fighting balrogs and basilisks, but I’m no monster.”
“And I don’t want you to think the conversation ends there. If you need to talk about anything that came up in the session, have any additional access needs or just want someone to hold your hand at your next blood test, I’m only a Discord message away.”
Suzuki recently messaged the group to apologise for being late as he had to feed some stray cats and deliver a stranger’s baby on the way to tonight’s session.
