🤝 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
Keep your bookworm alive by writing! A bookmark designed for the 24-word RPG Jam. Bookworm is a micro pet simulator in the form of a bookmark. By writing 200 words a week, you feed your bookworm's inspiration! If you miss a week, their health goes down by one. After five missed weeks, their life cycle ends. Remember them by drawing a pet portrait and writing down their likes and dislikes! ------------ Two versions are available: a bookmark and a game card. The game card has had an original print run of 500. ------------ Designer: Elisabeth Rose Astwood ------------ We encourage players to consult the TTRPG Safety Toolkit here. The TTRPG Safety Toolkit is a resource co-curated by Kienna Shaw and Lauren Bryant-Monk. The TTRPG Safety Toolkit is a compilation of safety tools that have been designed by members of the tabletop roleplaying games community for use by players and GMs at the table. You can find it at ttrpgsafetytoolkit.com. ------------- TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We would like to begin by acknowledging that Bookworm is being developed on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we work. Tiohtià:ke/Montréal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community. “This Territorial Acknowledgement and resources were created by Concordia University’s Indigenous Directions Leadership Group (2017).
