[QUOTE="Morgenstern, post: 2522106, member: 5485"] Just as a point of idle curiousity, when people are taking swipes at d20 Modern, do they usually count in stuff by the third party folks as fair game when trying to drum up problems with the main game :P? Mythic Dreams clearly felt that the gaming populace could tell a not-entirely-uncommon Latin word from the followers of the religion that chose to appropriate it to describe themselves :). Then again, Dark Inheritance has an entire divergent Catholic sect lurking under the Vatican who kill for God as a main faction, character options for literally being descended from the gods of myth (plural), and open the show with blowing up Jeruselem, so maybe examining modern Religious themes are part of the feel they were trying to evoke. The thing that cracks me up is reactions to the art. Beyond being a wildly sudjective element (we all knew that) , in some places it gets described cartoony and booing and hissing follow, other places it's described as being "like Danger Girl" and then much oooing and ahhing ensues :). Can't win them all, but man, we did try :D. [/QUOTE]
