The Cost of a D&D Wheelchair

Wyrmworks Publishing Posted on March 1, 2023 by Dale CritchleyMarch 1, 2024
necromancer laughing in a skull-emblazoned wheelchair, being pushed by 2 zombies

By its use as a universal symbol of disability in the real world and its use throughout literature as the definitive representation of disability, it’s no wonder that, when people think of disability representation in TTRPG, wheelchairs roll into our … Continue reading →

What Have We Learned from #OpenDnD

Wyrmworks Publishing Posted on January 30, 2023 by Dale CritchleyMarch 11, 2024
Red #OpenDnD logo

January 2023 was a rough year for the TTRPG industry. 5e developers found ourselves dividing our time between protesting and planning for a nebulous future. When WotC finally waved the CC-BY white flag, we celebrated like the end of Return … Continue reading →

You have heard, “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion.” I disagree, at least if you’re going to be making decisions with it that affect others. I contend that, “Everyone’s entitled to an informed opinion.” So having read the proposed OGL 1.2v1 … Continue reading →

Disabled D&D5e Heroes Coloring Book

Wyrmworks Publishing Posted on November 11, 2022 by Dale CritchleySeptember 6, 2023
Limitless Heroics: The Coloring Book. As our heroes fight the hydra, we see just some of the variety of symptoms represented in this book. The paladin has a prosthetic arm to assist with their amputation. The barbarian rages from their wheelchair, providing mobility for their paralyzed legs. The ranger, whose body is more accustomed to an aquatic environment just as someone in the real world may be more comfortable in a quieter or darker sensory environment, finds ways to compensate and keep fighting. The wizard’s vitiligo may not be thought of as a disability, nor should it be, yet many in the real world experience severe discrimination due to unusual skin pigment — how many celebrities, corporate executives, or politicians do you know with visibly irregular skin?

Tabletop Roleplaying Games like Dungeons & Dragons are great equalizers: people of all ages and abilities can play together, cooperatively. What else can do that? Coloring books! So we used the amazing art from Limitless Heroics to create a coloring … Continue reading →

Wyrmworks Publishing Posted on August 9, 2022 by Dale CritchleySeptember 6, 2023
Sidewalk granite curb cut for wheelchair ramp, Philadelphia PA

When Jennifer Kretchmer presented the scandalous idea of ramps in dungeons in Candlekeep Mysteries, a significant portion of the D&D community couldn’t wrap their mental dice bags around such a concept. It seemed incomprehensible to make dungeons more accessible, and … Continue reading →

A note on language: I am aware that terminology is important when discussing disability; no community is homogenous, and I am aware that, in the debate between people who prefer identity-first or person-first language, there is an obvious access clash. Since this is currently unavoidable without being less than ideal for someone, I have decided to alternate the two approaches in my writing.
