We’re committed to creating a more inclusive gaming experience for everyone. We’re thrilled to announce the release of the first-ever braille conversion of the 5th Edition System Reference Document (SRD), making the core rules of 5th edition accessible to a wider audience of players and creators.

This comprehensive resource is completely free and available in multiple formats:

• Players Guide: Explore core character creation options, including races, classes, backgrounds, and equipment.
• Game Master Guide: Discover essential rules for running the game, crafting engaging campaigns, and utilizing magic items (with harmful content removed).
• Monster Guide: Encounter a vast library of creatures, faithfully adapted for braille readers.
• Spellcasting Guide: Master the art of magic with comprehensive spellcasting rules and descriptions.
• Step-by-Step Tutorial: Designers, open your games and supplements to more fans and customers!

Designed with accessibility in mind, the SRD braille conversion comes in two formats:

• BRF: Optimized for dynamic braille readers and physical embossers.
• BBZ: Editable in BrailleBlaster software for further customization.

This resource is released under a CC-BY license, allowing anyone to freely use and adapt it for their projects. We encourage the RPG community to embrace accessibility and make their content inclusive for all players!

This braille conversion marks a significant step towards a more inclusive gaming space. While we continue striving to create RPG materials that are not only accessible but also celebrate diverse representation, this resource provides a valuable starting point for players and creators who are blind or visually impaired.

Join us in breaking down barriers and making gaming a more inclusive hobby for everyone!
