No, I am not a fan of the divine comedy either. I'll work up an OOC when I have a little more time, and then maybe people can better decide if the game is worth their time.

As an aside, Nevis....

Semantics, I know, but I disagree with you on the misuse of the term "paladin." The meaning of words evolve over time, and you'd find a disagreement between the original use of a great number of words when compared to their modern meanings. If I told someone there car was 'cool" or "sweet," I don't think anyone familiar with American English vernacular would believe I was describing their vehicle as cold or sugary.

Dungeons and dragons assigned paladin a new meaning in their game beyond its use in the Matter of France, and decades of use in the fantasy genre helped redefine the word. So today, if I want to describe "an order of holy medieval European style knights who rely on powers gifted to them through prayer by their god" to a group of people versed in fantasy vernacular, the most accurate way to describe that to them is the word paladin.

If we judge a words accurate use by its ability to confer the idea intended by the speaker to the listener -since isn't communicating ideas the purpose of language?- then what is the more accurate use of the word Paladin in a fantasy role playing thread? If I ask 100 people on this website, "Would you like to play as a Paladin in my medieval fantasy role play?" I would wager that few would expect my game to be about Charlemagne's knights. So I think that the word, in the context of which fan's of fantasy use it, is appropriate. I mean, for god's sake, the British call the hood of a car a bonnet.
