A few weeks ago I have found a very nice jam on itch.io called Road Trip Game Jam 2025 which was really inspiring and chill. At the time there were already a lot of really good little video games. I decided to hop on and try to submit something physical instead and many coffees later my solo TTRPG Focus on the Road was born.

It’s a chill game about driving across a big country, meeting interesting people and visiting some cool landmarks. You will take some pictures of your new friends and visited places using an instant camera and try to continue your trip before the gas tank is empty. As many solo RPGs it’s not really a game you can win or lose, it is mostly a tool to narrate a cool story while listening to some old rock music. The main mechanic is interacting with any hitchhikers you might take with you, trying to find a good discussion topic, listening to the radio together, etc. It’s absolutely non-violent, features no cigarettes, drugs or booze and has been designed to be as chill as I was when designing it. Oh, and it’s free and features only creative common art. Hope you might enjoy it!

    Oh thanks for crossposting, I am still a Lemmy noob and didn’t manage to find right instances. Oh, and hope you would enjoy Focus on the Road if you want to give it a try!

      i hope it was okay to crosspost it here for you.

      (i see a downvote already, but i don’t understand how this would be unfit for the comm…)

      of course! i played a few turns. i like to remix and mashup systems i find interesting, so mostly i’ve been tinkering with the core rather than playing the game. i’m thinking of converting the tables to generic scifi and sword/sorcery themes, and using it to create connections for Cepheus characters.

        Yeah, I do mix stuff too and like testing out new mechanics. For this one, I really wanted to play with the Galton Board like memory (each table keeps the previous results in it) and a very interesting distribution of 1d8+1d4 (as any sum of different dice is).
