Dare to Embrace the Unknown

What is the Second Guess System?

Lord of Terror is based on the Second Guess System, which was first introduced in One White Eye, a grim RPG inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The Second Guess System uses a d20, a d6, and a writing implement of your choice.  In it, you roll the d20 to unlock prompts that guide your character through the shadows of town events and the perils of dungeon encounters and then journal these results. 

But beware - repetition unveils hidden truths. Each repeated prompt demands a new revelation, exposing the layers of your character's psyche. Rolling the same entry another time means that your character must reveal something that was hidden the previous time, such as a new clue or a lie they told themselves. This adds an element of surprise and suspense to your journaling, as you never know what will happen next.
