I tend to pull my groups mostly from close friends. However, in my experience, "crusading athists" are a common complaint whenever I encounter people who are discussing their bad gaming experiences.LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495083228566425216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849891810204688064.post-50617324079262442252012-01-09T11:06:11.338-08:002012-01-09T11:06:11.338-08:00Wow, that's pretty bizarre.

Games with ambiguous metaphysics or even games where there are no god or gods, can be fun. But only if it's done for the sake of making the game interesting or making the group comfortable. It's NOT fun if the GM is simply out to get back at his parents for taking him to church every Sunday by going on a crusade in an imagination game. <br /><br />It is not, however, always a problem of players being on the same page. Sometimes people are just assholes, and that's who I'm addressing.

Players who refuse to group with clerics, distrust all in-game religious institutions, or even engaging in diplomancy to convince NPCs that there are no deities.</i><br /><br />Really? That's kind of funny. I've never heard of something like that.<br /><br />I do think there's a place for all types of games though. Plenty of the sword & sorcery source literature is at least agnostic. This kind of problem always comes from some variation of players not being on the same page.<br /><br />There is no reason that every game world should have the same metaphysics.Necropraxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716340801054739658noreply@blogger.com
