🤝 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
    “The X Card can be very useful, for example, but it’s also important to keep in mind its limitations.”
  • Safety tools (X-card, lines & veils, session zero)
    According to the game’s rulebook
    “The X Card can be very useful, for example, but it’s also important to keep in mind its limitations.”
