[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5004216, member: 8835"] People have pretty much hit on all the salient points an warning signs. A newbie should expect to join the group as is. They are the strangers who should try to fit in or leave. An SO joining the game has some many red flags that you gotta watch out for a different game being played, lest it ruin your table. This is also why the newbie doesn't get to make requests or demands. GMs make the gods for their game world. They are fake gods (not false gods). If the GM wanted to model the real world, he'd have done so. Since this is a game with fictional religions, the PCs should worship a fictional god that the player feels comfortable with. How hard is it to pick the "nicest" god in the game? What your PC does in a fictitious world does not reflect on the player's values. I'm pretty sure your preferred real world deity gets your morals when you pick a good god and have a Good alignment. Anybody who can't come to that conclusion probably has a number of other personal restrictions that are going to clash with gaming. At least for me and my players, nobody pays attention to the religion in the game, unless they are playing a class that requires it. It never comes up. Ultimately, don't change your game. Talk to Jane if you can. Be wary of bringing her in. [/QUOTE]
