🤝 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.

Description
The Rose Bride is a prize to be won by heroes that want their hand in marriage. They are not a fighter, or at least that’s what their Toxic Power tells them. Their central conflict pits pursuing their dreams against compromising progress to protect themselves and help those they love. The Rose Bride is a Powered by Lesbians playbook designed to be used with Thirsty Sword Lesbians. It is named for Anthy Himemiya's role in Revolutionary Girl Utena and it is inspired by Miorine Rembran from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury.
