🤝 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

The Starchild, an earth kid with alien parentage, fought back alongside their friends against an otherworldly menace. Starchild saved the world and the galaxy, and ushered in an era of peace! And it didn't mess them up at ALL, they're fine, everything's fine. Starchild Needs Therapy is a roleplaying game in the vein of emotionally rich adventure cartoon shows, created for the Fridge RPG Jam in February 2020.NOTE: the game was originally designed to fit on a single page, in accordance with the jam guidelines, but I've now expanded it to a luxurious two pages! Mainly I enlarged and loosened the text for readability, and slightly expanded the gameplay guidance. Enjoy! Fonts: Round Pop by Goma Shin, and Liberation Sans by Red Hat.
