[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7099676, member: 42582"] Why not? I'm about to start playing a BW campaign. I posted some details of my PC upthread - he is Faithful and hence I will have to be speaking prayers. I don't see it as horrible. I'm looking forward to it. In conceptual terms, I relate this to [MENTION=16586]Campbell[/MENTION]'s remarks upthread about [I]authenticity[/I] and "Walled Off Gardens". There is something more demanding about being obliged to speak my character's prayers. I am expecting it to intensify the experience of play, and to make me more intimately inhabit my faithful character. (I had a similar experience, many many years ago now, playing a religious character in a Cthulhu freeform.) (In social contexts in all the RPGs I GM (4e, BW, Cortex/MHRP) I generally expect the players to say what it is their PCs are saying, or at least to give me a pretty close third-person paraphrase. Otherwise how can one adjudicate?) [/QUOTE]
