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
