So I have a groups of friends who follow a particular religion that has particular rules about what you can do at particular times. They have a fairly regular, though informal, game group in which I sometimes take part. I have considered running a D&D group for them and they have not dismissed the idea outright, but before pursuing the idea in depth I want to figure out how it would work with their particular ideas.
So, could I post to the gaming forums to ask for advice on how to accommodate their religious concerns? They aren't issues with belief or with the nature of D&D as a 'magic system', but rather practical concerns about what is/is not an acceptable action to take. If so, can I name the religion in question so people have the ability to find out more details on their own, or should I leave it vague, a la this post, and simply list the restrictions they have as they would be relevant to a tabletop RPG?
