Short Description:
Using case studies and practical examples, we'll share how to facilitate inclusive online spaces for players that can't easily access traditional in-person gaming.
Long Description:
For many players, online gaming opens doors and increases access to tabletop gaming experiences that wouldn't otherwise be an option. Whether due to neurodivergence, chronic illness, disability, or simply living in a remote geographic location, there are many reasons why players opt into online games as a first choice, rather than as a substitute for in-person play.
This panel will provide practical, actionable advice on how to create welcoming and inclusive online spaces that support players of all kinds. Drawing from our combined experiences running virtual TTRPGs in a variety of settings, we will highlight case studies where online gaming offered distinct advantages over traditional tabletops, ensuring as many people as possible are offered a seat at the table.
