🤝 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.

This will be a safe, affirming and confidential peer led monthly support group for all local members of the queer community. QUILTBAG is a game about the development of identity through community.

Players will alternate between playing their characters in the support group and workshopping new relationships and what happens to their characters in between meetings based on event prompts. Characters are prewritten and 3-4 pages long. This game deals with issues of gender and sexual identity, experience of bias (outside the group), family rejection, offstage violence, discussion of violence, relationships and community, and gender transition. Sexual violence is not included in this game. All players, queer or not, are welcome, though young adults under 18 may need facilitator approval. All materials needed to run this game are included in the pdf.
