I don't see the problem with Allah-matar, though associating him with trolls may be a little scandalous. But I myself intend to introduce the Spanish Inquisition, so religious satire should be on the table, methinks.

As long as Christians are pilloried too (Illamatar doesn't count) I don't mind especially...
Jenny, could you reply to Dracomir's nasty little snipe? I'm slightly immobilised till you do...

Why doesn't Illamatar count? I always figured he was supposed to be parodying the Christian God - Fea?

Ah! I've remembered what I was going to do! It's a little chase scene that ends oddly and rather unexpectedly (I would hope).
Nice that it’s onto a 4th page. I'm still clueless as to where this RPG is heading!  Do we know who is driving Mount Zoom, by the way?

Well, he's not called Godamatar or Christamatar for a start, is he? On the purely linguistic level he's more remote than Allahmatar. (As it happens I also voted No in the Is Eru God? poll...)
I must stress that I am in no way bound up with Islam and in fact think it has grave intellectual flaws (as well as being slightly resentful of the fact that the Muslims sliced my lot to pieces in the seventh century...) but I just think we should try and be even-handed...

Save filled. The weirdest chase scene ever!
... Probably.

Okay, everybody hold on. Absolutely no religious punnery... at least not yet. A few things must be clarified.
Illamatar was a spur of the moment pun from game one that was half-stolen from Reunification of the Entish Bow and their Emu Iluvtar or however the heck it was spelled. I punned only Tolkien's Eru with no inclination (and this had better not start a discussion on how Tolkien's God reflects the Christian one) to tag anything legitimate. Before anybody toys with real religions in any form or function, I need to check on a few things. So until you hear back from me on this, I want to see none of it.
