Christians can roleplay. They just have to be human warrior/fighter/knight/paladin/crusaders with a lawful/good allignment. Oh, and they must always, ALWAYS remind themselves that it is just a game.
It's worth a laugh.

Not quite. A cult in-game usually refers to a hidden group of worshipers of one of the evil deities. Not everything derived from horror literature is referred to as occult.

well actaully roleplaying occult is about the mystery. cults are hidden, of elite stature usually in some way because of thir status (apparently) and magic is also a popular theme because it is not widely explained and is therefore glorified wrongly as a childrens sparkly dust sort of thing, so it too is mysterious. from that point the 'magical' occult categories grow fast, including all the undead creatures and dragons and swords and people with wings and the list goes on ad infinitumPeregrin Toker wrote:As opposed to the roleplaying definition of occult which apparently is "anything which is derived from horror literature".Ravenwing wrote:

I looked through the index of of his comics and didn't see anything about martial arts. Does he really think that karate and such are evil Satanic practices? I wouldn't put it past him.
