  • Making Your Game More Inclusive
    Apr 26 2024

    Welcome to the Continuing Conversations podcast, your gateway to exploring the rich tapestry of inclusivity and diversity within the universe of tabletop gaming. In this special Autism Acceptance Month edition, we’re warping into the heart of what makes Star Trek an enduring symbol of embracing differences: its unwavering commitment to showcasing a multitude of voices and perspectives. Just as Star Trek has always been a beacon for diversity, our gaming tables too should be sanctuaries of acceptance and understanding.

    Join us as we navigate the cosmos of inclusivity with our esteemed hosts, Jim Johnson and Michael Dismuke, alongside our guest stars Eric Campbell, Sam de Leve, and Josh Allen. These seasoned navigators of the gaming universe bring a wealth of experience in adapting games to be more inclusive, particularly for players with different learning styles or neurodivergence.

    Today, we’ll delve into the art of creating gaming experiences that not only welcome but celebrate every player's uniqueness, ensuring that everyone can find their place in the adventure. So, set your phasers to 'inspire,' and let’s embark on a journey to make the final frontier accessible to all, proving that in the universe of gaming, diversity is not just accepted, it’s celebrated.
