🤝 Inclusive design ⓘInclusive design is separate from a game’s queer labels. It marks games whose design is deliberately inclusive even when not queer-themed: romance or marriage mechanics with no gender constraint, character creation without a forced gender binary, gender-neutral rules language, or table safety tools. Each marker shows where we found it.

“Once you've had 20 positive interactions with any Neighbor, you can ask them to move in with you. This may be romantic or non-romantic.”
Description
Created for One-Page RPG Jam 2021. Over the Mountain is a solo rural fantasy journaling game on one page. Your character lives in a small mountain town and records their journey to carry out their Calling as they get to know the local human and spirit Neighbors, find bizarre items to collect, and clear the strange Dungeons found throughout. Will your curious character stick with their mission long enough to fill an entire journal? What Achievements might they unlock? Over the Mountain has players roll dice to generate prompts they must include as they record their daily encounters. It's flexible and leaves a lot up to the player so that it can be replayed again and again, generating a new town each time. If a rule isn't clear or isn't explicitly stated, it is up to the player to decide what best fits the story or is just the most fun. This is my first RPG ever. My goal was to write the RPG I most wanted to play. Hope others will enjoy it too! Want to see a playthrough? Check out RollForFelicity's playthrough here! June 2025 Update: Just added a plain text version of the rules. I hope they're passable while I wait for some feedback to improve them.
