🤝 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
    According to the game’s rulebook

Description

YOU are a group of HACKERS. Your WIFE has been KIDNAPPED — AND SHE’S MAD AT YOU!!! Also, she’s a supercomputer. Infiltrate your adversary’s security, hack the mainframe, reveal secrets, and try to convince your wife to give love another shot. Written for the One Page RPG Jam 2023. Some mechanics utilize a simplified PbtA system to determine results of roles. PDF available in printer friendly (black and white) version, as well as a (hopefully) more screen reader friendly version with no words written in all caps and a few other tweaks for accessibility.
