Résumé
It’s not easy to be a larper with disabilities. A couple weekends ago, US designer Shoshana Kessock and I put our heads together and workshopped the issue.
What we need, Shoshana said, are some work-arounds. In the same way that sticking a ramp onto a door with stairs makes a building more accessible to people in wheelchairs, so too could we seek a meta-technique or other method that might be added to games to make them more accessible to players with disabilities. And while I’m not sure we found the much-vaunted wheelchair ramp for larp, we at least came up with some possibilities. I want to share them, and some of our thinking around these issues below.
