New York Comic Con

Inclusive Gaming at NYCC 2026

We’re back for our third year bringing accessible tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) to New York Comic Con! Save your seat by registering ahead of time! Walk-ins are welcome, but once the table is full, the adventure is at capacity.

Inclusion Matters

Gaming is all about communication, collaboration, and imagination. For players with disabilities, communication and interaction with the game may look a little different. That shouldn’t mean sitting out or playing separately.

Our goal is simple: bring everyone to the same table to join the adventure!

Accessibility Built Into the Game

At the gaming table, players can request:

  • ASL interpreting
  • Live captioning
  • Live audio description

These services help players follow the action, communicate with their fellow adventurers, and fully participate in the game. And yes, we will be playing Dungeons & Dragons again this year!

Meet the Accessibility Alliance

We also host the Accessibility Alliance, a meet-up for fans with visible and invisible disabilities! This is your space to nerd out, make new friends, and feel included. Last year’s conversations about navigating the con with a disability were amazing, and we can’t wait to welcome you back this year.
