With not enough space on the table for the gadgets, snacks, and flailing appendages, it's time to make the rules smaller.

To make things truly minimalist, I've made the rulebook with the assumption that people have a character sheet in front of them, so they'll see stats (and a couple of rules-hints, like the XP costs for Attributes).

If anyone has printer handy, I'd love to hear how clear the folding instructions are (they're written with the assumption that you have the printed page in front of you, and only need to make sense in this context).

I couldn't make the downloads work in my phone but visited the Gitlab pages to make it work.

It appears that (some parts of?) this is available in English and in German, which would be perfect for me.

Would this be suited to playing with kids, too?

Thanks for letting me know!

We only have the tiny core rules translated right now, and the character sheet.

Would this be suited to playing with kids, too?

The system is just 2D6 + Attribute + Skill [ + Equipment sometimes ]. Should be fine for kids who are okay with small sums.

Example of a simple action in BIND, with character sheet guide

The books have one or two spots of harsh language.

I've just playtested and released a oneshot module. If you have any questions about running it, let me know!

Thank you! Idont know when I will be in a position to really play this, but it's now on my list!

One more question - is there a simple way to just download a bunch of pdfs if I don't want to go visit my local printer, as you recommend in every readme?

Glad to hear it!

s there a simple way to just download a bunch of pdfs

Yes. Each book's repository comes with a download link.

Metabind: a collection of the core rules, players' book, and GM's book, all stuffed into one. Getting the books separately is better if you're printing, but a single pdf works better for searching.
Missions in Maitavale - a full campaign setting and long story.
Goblin hole module, the intro module.
Goblin Horde, another goblin-filled introduction module, but this one is in the style of more traditional fantasy RPGs.

But fair warning: despite the hyperlinks, the books all prioritise printing. Reading two-column bright-white pdfs can give you a headache.
