D6 P.R.E.F.-erential
A downloadable TTRPG
P.R.E.F.-erential is a TTRPG game/system that can be played with a single d6 and was written using just 24 words, plus a few punctuation marks and symbols. I counted numbers as words, just to make it harder on myself.
The suggested setting is modern fantasy/urban fantasy, but there's no reaosn why you can't use this for just about any setting. So many ways to hack or modify this idea to make it deeper/more varied, but in the spirit of the challenge, I will leave all that for the players to come up with their own ideas.

I just don’t get preference. Could you explain a bit?
The Preference number tilts where your dice roll is likely to land between the four possible outcomes. It is a bit like the Number in Lasers&Feelings in that respect. You roll the d6 and add your Preference, and use the result to determine whether you succeeded on the requested ability:
If I pick a -2 Preference, then my range of possible results is -1 to 4. That means I have a 5/6 chance of success on a Rational roll, but only 1/6 chance of success on a Fantastical roll.
If I pick a +1 Preference, then my range of possible results would be 2 to 7. In that case, I only have a 1/3 chance of being Rational, I have a 1/2 chance of being Physical, 5/6 chance of being Emotional and 2/3 chance of being Fantastical.
There's nothing to download?
Sorry about that, fixed now!
Thanks! One of the more interesting 24-word RPGs, IMHO. The table is particularly notable.
