[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5836867, member: 34175"] Probably, maybe, no??? I try not to second guess anyone's reaction when it comes to culture, religion or politics, usually I'm wrong. I would say, it's all fantasy and therefore it doesn't matter, but as soon as I do, there would be a knock on the door and the PC police would be dragging me away for re-education. And if I said, yes that's the answer, more often than not, I would get a radical (culture/religion/political) member telling me I'm missing the point. I try to stay away from real world actualities in my games and use variants thereof. For instance I used the old Soviet Union as a template for one my nations in game and then made them religious radicals. Yeah, no direct parallel there. Or the Middle-eastern inspired lizardman tribe, the Germanic monkey folk that spoke Scandinavian, the barbaric elvish nomads with a definitive Chinese culture. Nothing sacred and nothing specific, I'll trash any accepted social/economic/religious/cultural conventions and so far, because it is so far removed from reality, I haven't ever had a problem with it. Here's hoping it stays that way. [/QUOTE]
