🤝 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)

Description
The apocalypse arrived one year ago and you are to blame. You and the team of people before you created the project that ultimately doomed everyone. You’re finally meeting up to debrief after all this time. We Did Start the Fire is a Descended From the Queen game about the architects of the apocalypse. Players use card prompts and a d6 to flesh out their characters, their roles in the apocalypse, how they feel about ending the world, and what they plan to do next. Content Warnings We Did Start the Fire includes themes of destruction, betrayal, loss, the end of the world, and ends with the authorities catching up to you. You are not the good guys here.
