Hey I am very curious to see this game. How will you handle it, since many people believe this is true? Are you treating it as a historical game? Are you worried about backlash? This seems a sensitive subject and I was wondering how you are handling it
I believe the timeframe is the century just prior to Jesus. There were a gazillion wannabe messiahs, prophets, holy men, and so on traipsing around North Africa then.
There's no stats for Jesus. We stop short of the time perod of Christ, so there's no Messiah Prestige Class or template. Christ's stats will have to wait for a sequel book.
Whilst I'm not really interested in using it as a Christian setting, it sounds like it will be a cool book that will help quite a lot for running games in similar era's.
Then again, running a Life of Brian inspired game would be cool I think...
