    The Tale of Toad, Part III

    We were en route to find the bones of St. Gravis (as usual). Part II The giants aren't bad once you redirect their bountiful energies. We slept soundly next to this one, who was plagued by little men with stabbing, rusted knives, who woke him with a stab every time he slept. Once the little lights from their …

    The Tale of Toad, Part II

    Part I The next mission was to find and retrieve a pious man called 'Gregor'. Every time an enemy scarred him, he would draw his blade across the scar to make a cross. The fact that his wounds did not cause infection provides proof that the B_______ has truly blessed him (praise be, unto both heads). Soon after, more …

    My character was an elvish paladin. Coming from the ancient world of A,D&D, with its racial alignments, I still thought of D&D elves as 'Chaotic Good'. The unusual image of a law-focussed elf made me wonder how someone would approach a law-abiding philosophy if they came from a society of well-meant maniacs, …

  • No Introduction Necessary

    calendar Apr 22, 2023 · 3 min read · BIND Theory Memoirs

    It's been commented that BIND has no introduction, saying 'what is a roleplaying game?', and I don't think it needs one. Of course, nobody's picking this thing up in a 90's game store, et c., but I feel we have a deeper problem. I think that no RPG - including D&D - really needs an explanation of 'how to do …
