There is the arguement that Christians can redeem certain cultural icons
by giving them new meaning or restoring their orginal meanings and use
them to influence people for Christ. If we hesitate to use all the
things that have been perverted by fallen mankind, we will soon have no
tools left to use.

I think that the warnings in the game text are enough to at least keep
most players from going from crossing over from RPG to false reality.
There may be some who do it no matter what we do, so again, we cannot be
hamstrung by a "maybe". The group's AM obviously needs to be watchful
for such abberations and needs to take appropriate action.
