It’s In the Vents!

Genre: TTRPG, Sci-Fi, Horror

Role: Solo project, everything

It’s In the Vents! is space horror, letter writing tabletop roleplaying game for a solitary player, and is a hack of All We Love We Leave Behind by Adam X. Voss, created with permission from the author.

I developed It’s In the Vents! as part of the Ad Astra Game Jam. I enjoy games that give players the tools they need to tell their own stories, so I created this hack that allows them to roleplay and craft journal entries using cards that represent randomized events with a focus on survival horror with a sci-fi twist.

Final Round is a one-page, micro tabletop RPG where you can create interesting, rounded, and over-the-top warriors and pit them against other players in one-on-one fights. Use dice to determine hits and dodges, break deadlocks, and use signature moves, ultimately telling collaborative stories between two fighters.

This was my first attempt at solo game development. I’ve always been interested in the characterization of characters in fighting games, but have never been good at actually playing the games myself. So I wanted to bridge the gap between the two worlds and allow for easy mechanics while give players depth when creating characters. For this project in particular, I found that less was always more, so I designed the rules in a way that gets the players actually playing within a few minutes.
