ANECDOTE

Accessible EPUB Solved A Real Reader Problem

  • Eric shared a customer story of Evil Hat producing an EPUB to solve font/contrast accessibility issues for a neurodivergent reader.
  • Evil Hat delivered an EPUB within two months so the buyer could read and play Deathmatch Island.
ADVICE

Include EPUBs To Improve Accessibility

  • Publish EPUB alongside PDFs to let readers change fonts, sizes, spacing, and other display options for accessibility.
  • Offer EPUB in addition to PDF because PDFs are hard to adjust for individual reading needs.
INSIGHT

Show Tailored Specifically For Game Masters

  • The Lazy RPG Talk Show targets game masters and focuses on practical GM tools and news, not general industry coverage.
  • Mike structures episodes around Sly Flourish news, hobby news for GMs, product spotlights, commentary, GM tips, and Patreon Q&A.
