I was wondering if anyone was into games particularly RPG games. Because I know there have been religious games like Christian games but that's about it. I always wanted to play a game where you can play any faith. Here's the synopsis.
The game would start with a few chosen people, called by their deities, to stop an evil cult (It doesn't really name the cult of a specific religion, just a cult that does malevolent things, like rape, child sacrifice ect.) from taking over the world. The deities choose these religious people and give them the mean necessary of unlocking their power and saving the Earth.
The party would consist of a Druid, Christian, Shintoist, Buddhist, Hindu, Jew, Muslim, Wiccan, Kemetic, Heathen, Hellenic, Zoroastrian, Sikh and Taoist. They are brought together to fight this cult all while trying to deal with their differences. For example, the Jew might feel resentment towards Christians and others for the Jewish Diaspora and being exiled and treated harshly for many years or the Zoroastrian might feel harsh towards the Muslim due to his people either being killed or forced converted to Islam. But I think this game could be educational because as time progresses, they learn more of each other and find out much of what they used to hear about each other was misinterpreted, or twisted through propaganda and that extremists within their religion were to blame, not the people who practiced it or the religion itself.
The game could have each person using magic of their brand, i.e. Jewish Kaballah magic or Wiccan magic and each one can have unique traits with the Christian having more healing and protection spells while the Heathen uses more power and endurance spells. They could also use amulets such as the Star of Solomon to boost wisdom or a cross to ward of and protect. These ideas are just the tip of the iceberg however and wondered how any would react to this.
