🤝 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
La Bête They say you are a monster. Navigate the world and manage your resources carefully to escape the forces pursuing you, or meet them head-on to destroy them and reclaim your territory. La Bête is an experimental fantasy game created with the Carta SRD for the Carta Jam. It is a modified system that combines the original survival mode and collection modes of gameplay for a longer solo game about managing your resources to survive and either escape or fight. To play this game you will need: 1 or 2 standard 52-card decks of playing cards (depending on length of game or if you want to potentially run into doubles between the play-boards)A marker like a coin or small toy (or two separate ones to swap between when your character transforms)A 10-sided dieA pen or pencilPaper or a journal Goals: No matter what, this game will be released in April, as it's meant for the Carta Jam. However, it can be nicer and fancier upon release OR it will be updated to be nicer and fancier after release if we hit these goals post release. REACHED *$100 - The PDF gets a facelift with nicer (stock) art.*$200 - For every pre-order, I will put 3 copies in the Community Pool on release.$400 - I'll add some of my own art in as spot illustrations to replace the stock art.$500 - I'll add a section of additional "challenge" rules based on famous monsters to spice things up if you want to try them.I have a few more ideas, but we'll see how things go! A Note, from me: Hey, while making a character or monster-sona for this game or based on the story you come up with during gameplay may be fun: don't be appropriative. There are plenty of other monsters to be than ones from marginalized or closed cultures.Also (to borrow a disclaimer from the Carta SRD) nazis, homophobes, transphobes, and other bigots are expressly not welcome here and forbidden from playing this game. If you have to ask whether this includes you, it does.
