| Short Description | Material costs for TTRPGs like D&D 5e present access barriers to some players. This presentation shows how educators and librarians can use open resources to welcome all to the gaming table. |
| Long Description | While tabletop roleplaying games like D&D 5e are more popular than they have ever been, access barriers still exist for some players hoping to get into the game. The cost of game materials such as rule books, dice, and minis can prevent some people from playing. This presentation gives an overview of open resources and low-cost/no-cost materials that librarians, educators, community event planners and others can use to eliminate barriers and welcome all gamers to the table. We will describe how Wizards of the Coast’s open gaming license, the System Reference Document, virtual tabletop systems, and other resources can eliminate or minimize the cost required to build homebrew campaigns. This presentation is perfect for budget-conscious TTRPG planners and those who want to make their game sessions more accessible and inclusive. |
