[QUOTE="pming, post: 8276773, member: 45197"] Hiya! Yes...but only if the people at the table are either (A) Atheists/Satanist, or (B) Have a very 'real world and grounded sense of self'. I have met Theists who are quite happy in their belief...and quite happy to accept that others don't share it, and they don't care. They know that when someone, for example, "take's the Lords name in vain" (sp?), that the person saying it does NOT mean it as any sort of insult or blasphemy. The Theist understands "Yeah, I don't say that because of my belief...but I get that other people don't feel as I do. I'm fine with that". So...yes. Totally possible. In fact, I'd [I]LOVE[/I] to do a sort of "Supernatural-Meets-Walking Dead" zombie apocalypse campaign. I find the Christian religion quite interesting (fascinating, actually). I really like all the Angles and "Host", and power structure hierarchy, major characters (Cain and Able, Adam and Eve, Noah, etc) and their stories....and I like to extrapolate them "up to modern times". As I mentioned, Supernatural (the TV series) is one of my all-time fave series. Absolutely [I]LOVE[/I] the set up and "The Boys"! Such great stories to be told and examined from a more 'modern' perspective. IMNSHO, Supernatural managed to do just what you (the OP) is asking...use real-world religion, but not outright "offend a great many people". EDIT: As a bit of a co-inky-dink, I [I]just[/I], as in today, started watching the Amazon series/remake/adaptation of Stephen Kings "The Stand". Only at episode...4? So, a LOOOOONG way to go. So far I'm liking it at least as much as I liked the 'original TV version' made back in the...er...early 90's? :) ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
