Taking the Scenic Route

Entry for the 2024 #1prpgjam with the theme Transport. This is a two player tabletop roleplaying game about making space for yourself and for others. And it is clearly about public transport (specifically trains):

"t has been a rough time and you thought you deserved a well-earned rest. In a momentary lapse of reason, you find yourself booking a scenic railway route, to unwind yourself from all that stress. Unplanned and to a certain extent uncalled for, you experience a slight romantic tension with the other player. Will you choose to follow your feelings? Or are you still hindered by your earlier experience? Play to find out."

Inspirations

This game has been  inspired by Emily Care Boss's  Breaking the Ice (finding love while dealing with your own space). As well, it has similarities with and takes inspiration from other games using dice pools (such as James V. West's  The Pool and The Questing Beast). Mechanically, it also borrows from my own Hope against all odds, available on this platform.
