These config files make the BIND RPG books look and act the way they do.

Usage

To make a book, put this config folder into the same directory.

git subtree add -P config git@gitlab.com:bindrpg/config.git master

Then copy main.tex into your main folder and make a symbolic link to the .gitignore file.

cp config/main.tex .

cp config/.gitignore .

Edit 'main.tex', and input your tex files by writing `\include{my_file.tex}.

Creatures

You can include pseudo-randomo creatures in your adventure by summoning the names from monsters. . For example, to place a random elf in your game, just write \elf, and an elf will be magically summoned unto your adventure.

\elf

You can give the character a title and name by writing '\npc{symbol}{name}' as an optional argument. For example:

\humanalchemist[\npc{\M}{Rincewind}]

This would make a heading called Rincewind in bold with a male symbol, and provide pseudo-random alchemist-appropriate stats underneath.

For a complete list of all the creatures and characters which can be used, see the 'monsters.tex' file. For more details on the syntax, have a look at examples in Adventures in Fenestra, or read the git's wiki.

TeXnical Details

This thing's handled as a subtree in the other documments, so changing it will change all BIND books.

Personally, I keep it in a directory by the others. This allows you to do:

git subtree -P config pull ../config master

The configs also have one branch per repo, so when writing Adventures in Fenestra ('aif'), you can do a push to just that branch:

git subtree -P config push ../config aif
