Is there any way Paizo can make Pathfinder more accessible? I am dyslexic and was curious if there was a way to make a PDF version of the Rulebooks, Guides, and APs with a font more friendly the dyslexic community. If you make an accessible PDF version there would be no extra reprinting cost for what is admittedly a small portion of your customer base. I'm sure it is more complicated than selecting all and changing a font, but I honestly don't know by how much. I am the GM for my group and as much as I love it, my prep time is outstanding because it takes me so long to simply read the AP in the first place.

I think there is a great opportunity here not just for the dyslexic community, but other communities as well. If there were audiobook and brail versions of the APs and Rulebooks, you not only accommodate more people but widen your customer base as well. Again I have no disillusions as to the cost of publishing hard copies of brail, but I think providing audio (and dyslexic friendly pdfs) would be cheap(er) and easier alternatives.

Tabletop RPGs are being studied for Master Theses and Doctoral Dissertations and the positive effects on individuals with mental and emotional disabilities. Making your game more accessible not only provides a solution to a growing need in the Tabletop RPG community but would give you a head start on a new, untapped market.

Please show your support for this idea as a response or shoot it down if this is outrageous for reasons I have yet to realize.

Thank You!

Hello Creasy Bear,

I know I would personally love to have accommodations for accessibility for all players! I know many of us at Paizo have that same passion. While I personally don't have any knowledge on what this would take or an action plan to pass on, I will certainly pass on this feedback to the channels that are more effective! Thank you so much for your support and consideration for the game and its players.
