[QUOTE="herald, post: 538774, member: 1112"] Psion I have to mention that I like the fact that the Player's handbook explains that you can have Godless Clerics. I'll mention this right now to get this out of the way. Here is my point: Roleplayers come from all walks of life, and many creeds and colors. To teach new players a game, you have to be able to connect to them on a personal level. Most have some kind of spiritual belief system, and they a extremely varied and will continue become more varied in the future. The statement as it is made in the PH shows that D&D can be as dynamic as it needs to be. Many people have a belief system that is not what many would call "a western religion" Now you suggest that you could put "Godless Clerics" in a sidebar. Well think of what kind of message that sends people who infact have a religion that doesn't include a diety? "We wanted to be PC, so were throwing you a bone. After all, we can't leave you people out." And as for "expectations", expectations should be set before a game is even brought together. Even if your players are spread out, you could have your players send you character sheets via email, fax, you could talk over the phone. [/QUOTE]
