🤝 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.
- Safety tools (X-card, lines & veils, session zero)
According to the game’s rulebook
“We suggest using Lines and Veils, the X Card, and the Open Door Policy.”
Description
There have always been those who have had to live in the shadows of society. Those that have been deemed "not good enough" or "beneath others" or "too different". People who have had to make spaces and lives for themselves by fighting against what the dominant sections of society think is and should be correct. Those that live on the edges are forced to hide themselves away or conform to even survive, even though they sometimes do not have the option of either. In Inhuman, you play as Inhumans, "monstrous" folk pushed to the margins of society and only seldom accepted, that too conditionally. You have all, however, received an invitation to a Party that claims to be inclusive, that claims to be for people just like you - for at least just one night you will be one of a crowd instead of something to be considered "other". Inhuman is a game that explores themes that, while instrumental to its gameplay, may be triggering for some. Please be sure to refer to the content warnings before playing this game and approach these topics with care.
