Ever play an RPG, and get really pedantic thoughts?
BIND is an open-source, grunge-fantasy, tabletop RPG, which:
- optimizes the crap out of everything (in ways you probably won't notice),
- is an 'adult game' (meaning we all have jobs, and need to set-up-and-go without homework or very much prep),
- will never have any house rules (because anyone can change the source files and reprint the PDF).

# Getting the Book
You finally arrive in the little hamlet of Encworth, exhausted from your fight with the Manticore, and still tending your wounds from the first day's battle with the cockatrice.
The farmer's children stop their work, and come over to ask a thousand questions.
Download it from the [link][core download], then take it to your local, friendly, print-shop.

Everything in the book has been optimized for reading on paper.
But reading two-columns of blinding-white PDF on a monitor will only give you a headache.
Sorry, whut?
