🤝 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.

  • Character creation free of a gender binary
    According to the game’s rulebook
    “Give your character a NAME and pronouns and introduce them to the group.”
  • Explicitly gender-neutral rules language
    According to the game’s rulebook

Description

You are the all asexual crew of the pirate ship Siren's Sorrow. Over time you have built a fearsome reputation, venturing into even the most monster-filled waters for the right price. Sail the high seas, take on risky jobs, explore mythic shores, and possibly engage in some piracy in Aces Ahoy! This Lasers & Feelings hack was written for Ace Jam 2021 and inspired by ace culture, especially tumblr posts arguing about whether aces would be immune to sirens and/or mermaids. I hope it's a fun way to indulge in adventure and your favorite ace touchstones all at once.
