  1. I approve also. I always played the pre-designed parties simply because I knew I didn't know enough to design a custom party.
  2. Clearly, King Richard IV from the old British comedy, The Black Adder. Richard was played by Brian Blessed.

  4. Accessibility of the type that the OP posted is pretty important and seriously under-recognized in game design work, IMO. There are other accessibility issues that are scarcely attended to by some game designers. One is colorblindness. Considering the substantially male demographic of games, colorblind agnostic, or managed, games should be more often considered. (I've not looked at Spiderweb games from this perspective.) In the board game world, having red and green pieces to represent different players is nearly universal. For red-green color blind people (the most common version), the game effectively can only be played with one fewer person because they cannot distinguish the two colors. I think possibly the OP might start evangelizing generally about this issue on other forums, find like-minded and like-needed gamers to work with, and eventually make this a regularly discussed issue at game designer meetings. Communicate with designers, educate them and raise their consciousness on the issue (arguably, what he is trying to do here) is where a real impact can be made. Additionally, if there was a game accessibility organization, it could rate games on their degree of accessibility. Or, it could educate reviewers on the things to look for in a game to give games an accessibility rating along with their other quality ratings.
