[QUOTE="Blue Orange, post: 8292357, member: 7025997"] It's super-table-dependent, and I personally would stay away from any of that if it involved real-world religions people were still practicing. Too much risk of really pissing people off. I mean, you might be playing with a table of Christians who would [I]really enjoy[/I] being paladins and clerics of God fighting devils. But you'd know that about your group. None of us would. I was from a mixed marriage (Jewish-Christian), joined a discussion about including Jewish elements here because I thought it was a neat idea, and it had to be shut down because apparently there were Jewish posters [I]accusing each other[/I] of antisemitism. My point is, even if you think you're OK talking about this stuff, you're often not, and then someone goes and gets really offended and doesn't tell you. The old rule used to be that you didn't discuss politics, religion, sex, or money in public. Seems sensible enough (unless you're in a club devoted to that sort of thing like a Bible study or you're volunteering for some politician of course). [/QUOTE]
