30% Off for Global Accessibility Awareness Day
May 12, 2025 Accessibility NewsThursday, May 15th, 2025, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD).
If you’ve been following us for any length of time, you’ll know how important accessibility is to us. Heck, it’s even in our name. So even if you haven’t been following us for long, it’s probably pretty obvious.
We’re celebrating GAAD by offering a 30% discount on every issue of Accessible Gaming Quarterly, Accessible Guide to RPG Layout, and on every version of Survival of the Able.
That’s 13 issues of our quarterly zine, one book about creating more accessible PDFs, and three different versions of our favorite survival horror game. Not a bad haul.
* Accessible Gaming Quarterly is a zine about disabilities and accessibility in tabletop games.
Did you know that about one billion people on this planet have a disability? The other seven billion are likely to be temporarily or situationally disabled at some point in their lives, too. That means accessibility is important to everyone, everywhere, at some time.
That’s why we created this zine. It’s written and illustrated by disabled gamers, but its contents are appropriate for everyone. Topics include essays, tips and tricks, creative ideas, fun illustrations, interviews, and Q&As about topics related to disabilities, accessibility, and our favorite hobby.
You can purchase individual issues, or grab each of the yearly anthologies which bundle four issues at a time.
* Accessible Guide to RPG Layout is for publishers, print designers, and anyone who creates tabletop games. It features step-by-step instructions on how to create accessible PDFs using Adobe InDesign. Although it’s specific to the leading layout software on the market, many of its tips are universally applicable to other layout software as well.
* Survival of the Able is a game about every day disabled people in Medieval Europe who are faced with surviving amidst a zombie plague. With no modern technology available to help you navigate an inaccessible world, a cultural apathy toward people like you, and zombies who want to eat your face, it’s not going to be easy.
Survival of the Able comes in multiple font formats (graphic, dyslexia-friendly, and easy-to-read). The digital version also comes with a Vision Layers-enabled PDF, which allows you to toggle on and off accessibility features such as color, greyscale, zero graphics, and alternative fonts. Each PDF also includes alt text to describe illustrations, as well as a gallary of images and alt text for you to enjoy.
We’re offering a 30% discount on all of these products in honor of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, but only for one week. Get your discounted copies between May 15th and May 22nd, 2025. Find them on the Accessible Games page on DriveThruRPG.
