Dire Bare
Legend
Can you write RPG content based on real-world religions? Sure, it's done in other media all the time including novels, comics, movies, and video games . . . why not also in TRPGs?
But it is certainly a topic with plenty of landmines for the author/publisher, as others have pointed out in this thread. Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but if you do . . . proceed with care, caution, and a willingness to deeply examine your own assumptions.
However, having a typical D&D party (in a typical D&D setting) meet Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed or any other religious figure of modern day religion sounds like a really bad idea. Perhaps in a non-D&D game, or a modified D&D game . . . even then, while I'm sure it can be done . . . so, so many landmines.
