🤝 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
“I also heavily request you have at least one safety tool that works in practice”
Description
“What about the forgotten ones?” Somewhere, deep in the forest, far from the world of technology and concrete, is a society built on hope in the dark. Under the trees rests homes full of loving animals. Every creature in this forest is searching. A light, a friend, a lover, a reason to continue. A way to become human. It’s said that one day many, many years ago there was a blaze, and the forest burnt to a crisp. The dragons shed their tears, crystalline woes - their crime had the perfect punishment. They lost their wings, and doomed the forest to dark ash. Then the haloed ones arrived, planted their seeds. The forest regrew. And in their crushed dreams and dreams, the animals grew a new desire. One day, they decided, the world will be right again. The birds will sing, the sky will clear, the fears of doom will dissipate. One day they will know what it’s like to be human. — Wildheart is a Table Top Role Playing Game. It’s about animals between the realm of ferality and humanization, who search for the Dragon’s Tear- the surefire way to finally become human. In game terms, this TTRPG focuses on story. Battles are highly deadly, and while magic exists, it's unwieldy and oftentimes dangerous. This game is about humanity. It's about finding community, passion, motivation to go on. It's about the universe and how we are a part of it. It's about the people who love and hate you. It's about transformation, changing day by day into something new. Most of all, it's about little creatures trying to make it work with what they've been given. Love what you're doing, and everything will fall into place.
