The Wheelchair Friendly RPG Trailer, Greater North America Area
The Wheelchair Friendly RPG Trailer Prototype is a proof of concept effort by RPG Research founder Hawke Robinson. This trailer allows individuals and organizations to provide services using a mobile facility that is wheelchair accessible, safe, comfortable, friendly, and nurturing. The goal is to provide services throughout North America on a tour ciruit schedule. More details at: http://rpgtrailer.com
This prototype currently can only accommodate 3 wheelchairs with 4 non-wheelchair participants, or up to 12 non-wheelchair participants.
There is a Go Fund Me to raise funds to build the ideal wheelchair friendly RPG trailer, that will accommodate 6-8 people in wheelchairs. http://gofundme.com/rpgtrailer
Hawke Robinson has also recently purchased and been fixing up a wheelchair accessible bus, so that TWO mobile facilities can provide services at a location simultaneously. This is a work in progress. More details at: http://rpgbus.com
Hawke Robinson donates the use of the RPG Trailer and the RPG Bus to RPG Research and RPG Therapeutics LLC, without charge, to further the goals of both organizations.

Shadow of Pindus by Darren Steele, "Social and Emotional Roleplaying Resources"
http://shadowsofpindus.com/social-and-emotional-roleplaying-resources/
From the site: "Since I started Shadows of Pindus I’ve been blessed to be privy to many constructive conversations on the social and emotional aspects of tabletop roleplaying games. I’ve also begun to turn up (and be shown to) a plethora of resources in the community created by industry leaders and passionate fans alike. I want Shadows of Pindus to be more than a soapbox for my opinions and so am delighted to launch this resource list. This is a living group of links to articles, podcasts, and videos about the mysterious parts of Dungeons and Dragons, the how and why of relating to each other at the game table."
