4 photos by @thornebelrose I started writing games recently! Here's what I've learned so far! Hi! I'm a physical game writer! In December, I started writing my first game, Along the Open Road, a Road Trip Storytelling TTRPG for...

It's been a busy week for me, so far, but it's been motivating knowing, over the past couple of days, Along the Open Road has gotten at least one download a day. Nice to see people are giving it a shot.

Today was my first day without anyone downloading Along the Open Road. And that's okay! Thank you to the 26 people who have downloaded the game so far! I'd love to know what you think!

#alongtheopenroad #ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #roadtripjam2025

Feedback I've had from friends who got early access to the system has been super positive, which is lovely! Not only that, but they enjoyed the fishing minigame!

Thanks to everyone for the support so far!

I checked my itch.io page just to see how Along the Open Road is doing and 21 people have already downloaded it! I was honestly not expecting anyone to really think much about it so this has motivated me a lot!

I can't believe I'm actually about to say this...

#ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #roadtripjam2025 #alongtheopenroad

(Credit to a friend of mine for creating this masterpiece)

#alongtheopenroad #ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #fishing #fishingminigame #roadtripjam2025

You know, when I came up with the idea to add random tables to the end of the rulebook to help people create, I thought it would be simple. And then I realised I'll be writing 240 unique names.

#ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #alongtheopenroad #roadtripjam2025 #fishingminigame

Listen, I was done with the Steal loot tables but then I just had to bring it back to continue on the joke-

#ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #alongtheopenroad #roadtripjam2025 #fishingminigame

I'm not even going to lie, I truly believe this is the greatest joke I've ever written and I think I'm the only person who will find it funny

#alongtheopenroad #roadtripjam2025 #fishing #fishingminigame

There's a small part of me that wants to put this joke in the actual Along the Open Road rulebook for the final version... what do you guys think? Should I do it?

#ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #alongtheopenroad #roadtripjam2025 #fishingminigame

I'm not going to spoil *too* much, but the Starter Journey is finished! Here you can see the outline of the Stops. If you want to see what you can find, you'll have to download the game when it's released!
