🤝 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.

  • Character creation free of a gender binary

Description

The world is a fantastical place filled with beauty, wonder, and strangeness. It is a world worth saving. The people of this world are kind and unique. They are people worth saving. We are a group of witches who have been called upon to stop the Nothing that is devouring the world. We are also worth saving. ________ Before the Spire Falls is a roleplaying game for 2-4 players. A single session will take 2 or more hours, and will feel like a few chapters of a book. It is diceless and GM-less, and uses the Belonging Outside Belonging system written by Avery Alder. Players make vulnerable moves to gain tokens, which they can spend later to make strong moves. You play as a group of witches traveling to reclaim your world from the Nothing. To play you will need: A copy of these rulesA copy of each playbook, setting element, and the map pageAbout 5 tokens per player (coins, pebbles, etc.)Pens, pencils, markers, etc.
