[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5365547, member: 11437"] I [i]think[/i] the EN World rules are no preaching a [i]specific[/i] religion and no using [i]real-world[/i] deities/religions in [i]discussions[/i]. I do NOT know if this applies to PBP games, but I have to assume it does unless otherwise informed by a mod. It is VERY easy to avoid any problems. First off, we need to avoid real-world deities. That shouldn't be an issue. Having powers that are "divinely inspired" but [i]without a specific source[/i] should be fine. This would be no different than a D&D Cleric using "divine" powers. We could even have angels and devils, as long as they don't make specific references to [i]their creators[/i] or things along those lines. Second, we also need to avoid real-world religious organizations. This should apply to sects, churches, and so forth. I don't know whether specific Catholic saints would be prohibited or not. I suppose it might be based on usage. The bottom line: I believe we can pull this off quite easily as long as we act like adults and have the basics of posting policy in mind. I'll see if I can hunt down the exact EN World policy on this issue. EDIT: Here is all I could really find - "discussion of a religious or political nature" seems not to relate to PBP games in that we wouldn't be discussing the [i]merits[/i] of a given religion inasmuch as using said religious elements to tell a story.
