[games_access] Recruiting Warcraft 3 Testers for MFA Thesis!

[Steven Spohn]

Greetings Chris,

My name is Steve Spohn, I'm the associate editor for AbleGamers.com. First,
I think your project is extremely interesting and I really hope it goes
well. Second, I'll save you in a step, I read on your blog that you are
planning to reach out to us at AbleGamers - so I thought I would reach out
to you instead. We would be happy to help you in recruiting testers, on top
of that, I happened to have played DoTA since the days before it was
shortened into that name.

Shoot me a private e-mail - Steve at AbleGamers.com - we can discuss the
details later today. I just wanted to publicly say that I think it is great
you are including disabilities as your main point in a thesis! Great job,
and I'll look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hey everyone,

I am looking for volunteer testers to help out with my MFA thesis. I am 
looking for gamers with physical disabilities to test Defense of the 
Ancients (DotA), a custom map for Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, for 
accessibility barriers. I am going to take your feedback to Blizzard in 
order to create a custom map prototype that attempts to eliminate these 
barriers, at which point I would reach out to you again to test the 
prototype. Ultimately, the goal is to evaluate this process at a 
feasible method to create more accessible mainstream games.

Please go to my blog (quinn-thesis.blogspot.com 
<http://quinn-thesis.blogspot.com>) to learn more about my project and 
the overall process. If you are interested in participating, please 
email me at chris at chrisquinn.com <mailto:chris at chrisquinn.com> and I can 
send you more details.

Thanks for your time!

Chris Quinn
