If she responds to vibrations you can thump and then use visual cues to communicate with her; that worked quite well when our dog went deaf. (Our other dog also spontaneously started being "helper dog" and would go poke him when I dropped food in the kitchen and for other events he'd be interested in.)
We got a vibrating collar that we're going to try to train her to look at us with. Also hand motions and pointing work really well. And I sign a "J" for her name.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/

ReplyDelete:D Smart doggo. I like the collar -- lets you signal regardless of the environment.
