🤝 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
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to ToonTown is a pre-written, ready to run, boxed larp (live action roleplay) set at an animation studio in 1938 for 17-21 players over 4 hours. The players play animators, writers, and long-suffering executives who have been locked in a studio as they try to finish their next big cartoon. This is a sincere larp about silly people. It will largely be light-hearted and funny, with moments of genuine poignancy. Come prepared to laugh and have feelings. Your characters are making a cartoon, but that does not mean you have to be an artist! You're welcome to draw, or not!, as you prefer. Game time will be divided between a gamified making of cartoon, office politics, and goofing off. Content Warnings Content warnings include period-appropriate sexism and homophobia, illness, mention of Nazis & war, and financial troubles typical to the Great Depression. The sexism and homophobia will be background radiation more than play. The Packet Includes: 21 Pre-Written character sheets for 11 male, 7 female, and 3 gender-neutral characters. Gamified, simple rules for "making" your own cartoon. Suggestions and GM notes for new GMs and players. Complete character packets that can be easily emailed to a play group. And more!
