Here's why I ask. The stuff below the DGP quote is very detailed and uses
a lot of very specific, technical, ecclesiastical language which I assume
could only be written by a person who has a serious connection to the
churches in question, and I mean church historian level. I assume that
person is you. That stuff is really pretty interesting, and leads to a
bunch of questions/observations:
1. That is not your typical Traveller type stuff. What's the kind of
response you've gotten? I think the only other similarly serious
references to religion was Harold Hale's Children of Earth, but they were
typical expansionist conquistadors, and not at all the open-minded,
progressive organization you portray. That in itself must be surprising to
a lot of people.
2. I note at the (Second) Council of Nicea in 2054 that US Episcopals
don't join. Is that a result of the recent split with the Anglicans, so is
it based on current events?
3. It is really interesting what you are doing in a game which
historically has not addressed religion much.
4. What happens to the Lutherans? Surely you know better than to lump us
in with the rest of the Protestants.
5. I am one of the most ecumenical guys you'll ever meet, but man, I'm not
as optimistic as you are in your future history!
Please talk about what led you to this singular, distinctive approach.
> I Love that Dulinor quote. Hints at a depth and humanity to an otherwise
undeveloped character known (and almost universally reviled) only for
what he did, not why.
Thanks. I wanted to give him a bit of a grace note, because there had to
have been more going on than just, "destroy it all," but we never got a
chance to hear from him. So the least I could do is give him some dignity,
some regret, some sense that he tried to do something that got screwed
up....before he walked out and got eaten by the steam shovel, or whatever
I did to him.
