C'mon. You know there was someone who wanted to protest this name for real. And at least I didn't report them to People for the American Way.

I was "surfing" the Web the other night with my youth group and we came upon your "site" called Fat Messiah Games. What embarrassment! We sat there stunned for at least ten minutes!

I'll have you know that Jesus was NOT fat! He didn't even have a weight problem! Look at any picture of him. Is he even pudgy? No! No, no, no, no, no!

Why not change your name to Risen Messiah Games? You could make role-playing games where each participant could be a disciple. Various stories could be The Transfiguration, The Resurrection, and Jesus: The Early Years.

I'm willing to help you design these after your name change, if you want.

> I'll have you know that Jesus was NOT fat!

You may be correct. However, as is clear from the logo, the Fat Messiah certainly is.

> Why not change your name to Risen Messiah Games?

Because it would cause a lot of confusion, as Sierra Madre already has a product with "riesen" in the title.

Thank you for your interest in FMG. Your comments are valuable to us and help us make better products. Have a good day!!!
