While I can't speak for wargames, there are pdf versions of other tabletop books available, ---- I indeed have some of the books for mutants and masterminds. when I originally got these though the text converted fine, the tables had some options, however with some of the updates to adoby reader, ----- pluss making certain I use the accessible version of the program and not the usual one, these come out okay even with tables.

Really, Adoby should make it clearer that there are! two versions of the program, and the bog standard version doesn't either convert to text or run with screen readers too well.

Anyway, you can find the accessible adoby reader at http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/reader/ and you can get rpg rule books from http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/

I believe they may sell war game related stuff as well, but I'm not absolutely certain about that.

Either way, now that there ar programs to manage things like character and enemy stats and more gms' use laptops (our mutants gm certainly does, in fact he's a beta tester for hero lab, the mutants gm helper program), I think books in electronic if not accessible format will become more common.

I do wish though they would publish the newly released gamebooks in the fighting fantasy and lone wolf series in a none paper form, ---- but sadly not!

Some funky touch screen applications for I phone, but nothing that will work with a screen reader sadly.

anyway, that's another debate entirely, I stil hope you find that stuff useful.

Yep, there is quite a difference, and Adoby don't make it particularly clear that there is an accessible version. The original has the "convert to accessible text" option, but it tends to mess things up royally, ---- not to mention slowing your computer to a crawll.

I only found this out last year myself when the falcon banner novels converted fine on my desktop but came out in a right royal mess on my laptop, ---- that's also why I've stuck links to the accessible adoby reader around the place.

I'd be interested to know if the Iphone applications of fighting fantasy books are accessible or not, I'm not sure if demos are available, but you can find them at www.fightingfantasy.com I believe. I did send them an e-mail asking about accessible pc versions but got no reply annoyingly.

Have you tried monkeying with some of the document and view settings? for example, changing the convertion setting from "read the entire document" to something more manageable.

While it is indeed possible that whoever created the pdfs just didn't do a particularly good job access wise, ---- tables particularly come out as rather wonkey, it's worth checking all the options first.

I find that software business quite worrying, especially with how people believe aple is such a good company in comparison to microsoft?

It might not actually have been Iphone, I just remember seeing something about an application version of the new fighting fantasy books for a mobile phone platform, ---- as I said though, I got absolutely no response at all when even begining an access discussion sadly.

I'm actually surprised that with fighting fantasy and lone wolf getting rereleased sites like the fighting fantasy project and especially project aon can keep going, ---- but planely they are (though i've got downloaded versions of all the material stored up just in case).
