Second Guess System SRD
This one page document serves as both a guide and template for crafting SGS (Second Guessing Systems) games, initially crafted while musing on an Edgar Allen Poe inspired setup. The system was designed to be short and tight in size with 52 prompts required but still only requiring the use of d20s rather than recursion due to random determination issues that arise from using a deck of cards for W&A's gameplay feature such as eliminating duplicate prompt usage, making it easier on players without having them roll the same numbers repeatedly.
