The Autumn Trapper: A Second Guess Game
A 1-Page Solo TTRPG of Loss, Doubt, and Gothic Horror
How long has it been since your kith was last called upon? Has it ever been done alone? The autumn winds bring more questions than answers, but your task is clear. One of Them has entered the lowlands, and They must be bound by season’s end. The Clasp before you is too old, the pair to follow too young. You must ignore the phantom pains of your union and trap Them behind iron or stone. You must hide your seeds of doubt and loss, lest They make them grow…
The Autumn Trapper is a 1-page solo/journaling TTRPG and a stand-alone sequel to The Winter Guard and The Spring Rider that uses the Second Guess SRD created by William Lentz.
This TTRPG only requires a way to record your entries, a d20, and d6 to play and is perfect for:
- Prompting a short story
- Creating an epilogue for an existing character
- Completing a gothic horror (or gothic romance) journaling experience
Your Trail Begins…
The dry air of the ruin suppresses the passage of time as much as the silent padding of your feet, and you must consciously stop your rushing blood and racing thoughts from fighting the perceived contraction. You know the necessary ritual, have the tools that you need, but you are one half of a whole—a broken Clasp. And They can see your heartache and uncertainty as easily as you see the trail you currently follow.
