[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 539592, member: 2067"] Just need the right campaign setting, I'd think. If I had the time to do the research and effort, you can bet your buddha I'd be making a Biblically-inspired RPG setting. Think about it... Set a campaign before the ascent of Jesus, where you're God's Chosen People, without home or palace, struggling against a hostile world. Set a campaign in ancient Jerusalem, where prophets and seers are a dime a dozen and rebellion is fermenting. Maybe this is before or after the big J, maybe during... Set a campaign in Rome, either before, after, or during it's Christianization. You could represent the persecuted "cults" of true believers, for instance, fighting against the Satan-Empowered Roman Empire. Set a campaign in the middle ages -- it's close enough where you'd have to do only flavor changes. All arcane casters must be evil, divine casters must worship God. Maybe you could be a Sorcerer, a "blessed one" who can work miracles, for the class... Set a campaign in the exotic and flavorful multiverse of the Divine Comedey, or Milton's Paradise Lost. Play angels against Satan's will. Play humans, caught in the struggle... d20 Modern also lends itself to the setting pretty well (being, y'know, modern and all...) You'd have to change quite a few little things here and there, but, honestly...I'd shell out for something that drew honestly on biblical source material, and presented the setting in a great way. There's lots of great source material to draw on. Also, in addition, regular D&D can be "christian," as well. The Bible says nothing, really, against pretending to worship other gods in the game...as long as you don't start seriously allocating your worship to it, it should be okay. It's only a certain mindset -- I learned how to play D&D from guys I met at my Catholic school, so the two certainly aren't mutually exclusive, to those who desire to see it. At the same time, I can't really find "fault" with anyone for seeing D&D as evil...the logic used works, if you accept what they do. [/QUOTE]
