In ''[[The Domains of Dread]]'', “secret” may designate any item, lore information or mechanic intended to be discovered as they appear on server, without being discussed or spoiled out of character. While [[Staff, Requirements and Applications|Game Masters]] make no effort to enforce secrecy save on the [[Discord]] or the [[Forums]], it will be assumed that every player will continue to use good faith and discretion outside these environments.

Secret items or mechanics are not available in their raw form on the public [[GitHub]], in minimizing datamining. Examples of secrets include:

* Exact numerics as pertains to the [[Experience and Progression|experience]] system;
* The true nature of the Mists;
* The descriptions and statlines of some unique, often Game Master-created items or equipment;
* Adverse outcomes from having high [[Fear, Horror and Delirium|delirium]];
* Exact numerics as pertains to obtaining [[Mist Tokens]].

In all cases secrets are meant to maintain a level of mystique and uncertainty associated with a gothic horror setting, and limit only what may be discussed out of character—the characters themselves are free and encouraged to give their own subjective accounts surrounding secrets (assuming the secret in question is something a player character can themselves experience).

Items are marked as secret in the examine window. Should there ever be any doubt whether a function of ''The Domains of Dread'' is a secret, a ticket should be opened first with the Game Masters per the [[Game Rules]].
