[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 2801412, member: 29112"] I honestly cannot express my disagreement quite sufficiently to get across my precise thoughts on this matter. But I'll try. :) *All* of the elements and themes that you mention as being "Christian" of course predate Christianity by a considerable period of time, and have been found in individuals, societies, literature, and faiths other than that one, prior to and concurrently alongside its various highs and lows throughout history. While I respect the writer no less for his outspoken faith and beliefs concerning that faith, I actually disagree with him, and (not so) humbly opine that his view on this matter may be somewhat biased and therefore closed to certain possibilities in reality. *Many* fiction writers are Christian (or Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or whatever else). Very rarely, I'd say, would their fiction be so closely entwined with elements that are singularly the domain of the particular faith in question, as to be rendered utterly altered/ruined/devalued should a person view the works in a different light than that the writer him/herself favours. Re: Pendragon. . I used to love that game. I probably still would, if anyone was actually interested in playing/running it. :( On the other hand though, these days I tend to prefer systems that don't mechanically/numerically represent/reward things like beliefs, emotions etc. I'd rather they be the domain of the players' and GM's creative interests and immersion, personally. Hasn't always been that way with me, but yeh, it is now - to a large extent. To each their own though. Pendragon is still an awesome game, that will always have a place in my heart. :cool: [/QUOTE]
