I've never played this game, I've never seen anything of it other than the cover and the description based in a thread on another forum, but the deal is that essentially you are agents of the Vatican fighting against occult dark forces. Great, right, now take a look at the cover:



That's either the longest-haired priest I ever saw, or its a female priest. In a game about the Vatican.

Like I said, I don't know if it reflects the interior of that particular game, but I'm sure everyone has run into cases of this, where in order to be politically correct a game author goes egregiously above and beyond to the point that something just shatters one's capacity for suspension of disbelief. Like if you had a game set in the U.S. Civil War (even in an alt-history one) where you had a black Confederate General, or something like that.

I see an excuse to get women cavalry into a thread!

I actually have that PDF, but it's been so long since I looked at it that I don't even remember the contents.

I was just wondering myself how long it would be before Pundy trundled that hollow complaint out again.

!i!

Of course they screwed up. The priest should have a nun assistant, like soeur Marie Therese des Batignoles!

Honestly, who cares, it's a game not a fucking documentary.

All this from the guy who likes MDC in Rifts. I think you pretty much give up the right to ever bitch about realism in a game if you ever played and enjoyed Rifts. It's one of those Faustian bargains. "Hmmm, fun today vs fun with stupid realism arguments in the future, hmmm."

Well, in Pundy's defense, it doesn't take a pottle o' brains to make the figure in the middle distance a butch nun instead of a priest.  But, then again, this is a case of ignorance, not "PC-ness".

She looks Elfish. That ruins it for me. I mean we all know the the Vatican hates Fairies....

Only since the Council of Nicea.  Before that, they were all buddy-buddy.

Or its a nun dressed in more "adventuring" appropriate attire. I got to agree with Kyle though why is this "fantasy" so much harder to swallow?

I like my priests to have bigger tits.

Never tried the Eucharist thing huh? The sacramental bread is terribly dry and tends to stick to the pharynx.

Which is why you wash it down with the blood of Christ.

Seriously, this is beyond the pale. It's almost as if roleplaying games take place in some kind of make-believe universe where things don't work the way they do in the real world. That's bullshit!
