Along the Open Road

Are you ready to head on a Journey Along the Open Road?

Along the Open Road is a simple road trip storytelling TTRPG that allows a group of 3-5 players to work together to tell the Journey of a group heading down 'The Open Road',  discovering new Stops along the way, learning about cool Points of Interest, and meeting Unique Characters.

And the best part of all of this?  Your group creates the story you want to tell.

Along the Open Road, as a storytelling TTRPG, is a game that allows every one of the players to be in command of the story at some point. There is a great focus on Characters, of course, but there's as great of a focus on Players, too. And just in case there are Players who aren't as experienced in storytelling or running sessions as others, there's a whole host of ideas tables right at the back of the book.

The game system is wholly original, one that I'm choosing to call the Open Road System, and the mechanics within this book are open to be adapted into other games (with credit given, of course). After all, this book, despite it being a rulebook, is still just a set of guidelines.

The files available for download include the rulebook, fillable and printable Character and Journey Sheets, as well as a Starter Journey with five Starter Sheets!

It should be noted as well, this game was made for the Road Trip Jam 2025! You can find other amazing submissions for the jam, or even join it, at this link here: https://itch.io/jam/road-trip-game-jam
