BIND

Overview

BIND is a fantasy tabletop RPG designed to solve a number of problems:

Character backstories are a pain.

Solution: Story Points

Players never engage in the adventure in the right way; when they should go left, they always go right, but railroading them never gives good results.

Solution: Side Quests

Standard fantasy stories contain long-term wounds in their narratives, while fantasy RPG mechanics effectively prohibit them.

Solution: Fate Points

Random point buying in D&D doesn't work, but it *could* work really well.

Solution: Random Attributes

Everyone makes house rules, which results in a bunch of D&D clones.

Solution: Open Source

Don't you hate it when you can't scroll, so you have to look at the bottom of the page by moving your neck, and you suddenly notice how uncomfortable you are, and by extension, how horribly old you are?
