I will likely use WFRP, since it is fairly easy to get "in character" with this game (thanks to random PCs and careers).The problem is, one of the players is a devout Muslim. He is the guy who is the most interested in gaming. However, he is also freaked out by the blatant polytheism in many fantasy worlds - when I suggested a D&D game set in the Forgotten Realms and explained the religious cosmology, he said that he "only wanted to watch in that case".So for my WFRP adventure, I will simply hand-wave religion away in the beginning and make no references to temples and faiths. This isn't fully satisfactory, of course - the religions of the Warhammer World are an important part of the overall tapestry of the setting. After a few adventures, I will talk to that player again and I'll see if he is comfortable with introducing religious topics - or not. We'll see what happens after that.So, for those of you who have introduced deeply religious players to gaming: Did you have any similar problems? Did you have to make some adjustments to the fantasy world to avoid stepping on anyone's toes?</blockquote>
