>>6108572>single attribute rpg that explores MASCULINITY, ageing?A while back I remember reading an rpg called Wuthering Heights, it was mostly forgettable and quite amateurish (I think it came from the geocities era of selfmade pdf rules etc).
But that rpg had some mechanic where your character's AGE was a dice stat, the rpg had very complex rules but you would attempt to roll under or over your age to succeed or fail at various tasks.
I also know of the Ron Edwards Trollbabe system, it is three attributes Magic, Fight, Social, but generated from only one number, roll over, under, or best of etc with 1d10.
I thought about adapting this for some Sword and Sorcery setting with only two stats, SEX and DEATH.
But I reckon you could create some 1 stat rpg with a single attribute, MASCULINITY, you roll over the stat to be masculine and roll under it to do feminine things (look, men on top, ok - no weird unorthodox bent back frog squat wheelbarrow pleasure positions permitted)
So if you try to do a BATTLE VIOLENCE MURDER GORE masculine thing and roll under your stat, you must then narrate how the thing gets done but in a girlish or embarrassingly womanly way.
Similarly, if you try to do a sophisticated alluring social persuasion / soothing womanly thing but roll over your single stat, you must then narrate how you botch it with your oafish growling throaty aggressive man-voice, or perhaps pedantically mansplain in a tediously infuriating and patronisingly chauvinistic manner.
