Inspirisles is a successful Kickstarter campaign that uses a system around Belief to support empathy and magic rules that teach players British Sign Language or ASL.
The RPG is now available from DriveThruRPG as Pay What You Want with a suggested price of $0.
Experiencing visions of a mythical land throughout childhood, you are guided to a kingdom ruled by the fae. Responsible for a pact made long ago by your ancestors, Arthur & Guinevere Pendragon, you must now earn Belief and the respect of their gods to secure your ticket back home.
Helping people develop and understand storytelling, empathy and raising Deaf awareness are overt goals of the game. All worthy causes and an RPG in which you learn hand gestures that make magic in-game and make friends out-of-game seems like a straight-up win to me.
150 pages offer up rules on the 3d6 mechanic, safety tools, information and history on the Inspirisles setting and character generation.
There’s “Grail Guide” (GM) advice, many worldbuilding tips and a starting adventure. The download has a Celtic visual style, and filled with illustrations and designed with accessibility in mind.
Rajnie Kaur and Katy White will launch a series of video tutorials covering BSL and ASL to support the game.
