🤝 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
Sunset Swords is a one-page one-shot two-player gm-less collaborative lesbian fencing-driven gender-exploration role-playing-game that draws inspiration from games like Blade Kissed, historical developments of gender and swordplay, my lesbianism, and the fact that I had a creative project assignment for my gender and sexuality class. Sunset Swords takes place over three scenes that capture different important moments in your budding romance/rivalry, during which you take actions based on the four humors use them to develop your fencers and their relationship. No dice or math is required, and instead everything unfolds through guided roleplay and the consent of each player. It's fairly simple, and free to download (though donations are always appreciated) so why not just try it out yourself? If you play, let me know in the comments what you think!
