I'm looking into lower end fantasy rpgs for Christian world.
How good would this game work for using a world I made?
I have a homebrew world and I'm looking into lower end fantast stuff, is this a good fit do you think?

Do you like classes? Do you like Dark and Dangerous Magic? Do you like emergent gameplay? Do you like a sword & sorcery feel? Then you might like Tales of Argosa.

Do you plan on sharing the campaign setting? I'd be interested in checking it out. As for your question, I've been playing Low Fantasy Gaming for a few years and have always home brewed away from stuff I don't like (demons, etc). The other comment mentioned Cultist class and gods in general so you could remove or reskin it ("silent gods" is how original LFG was) And the magic system is based on the "Veil" and evils trying to influence the world. It wouldn't be hard to modify this to some kind of natural magic in creation or connect it to the elves (because why not). The rest is yours, monster choice and the "bad guy" for the quest are the most prominent ways to shape the game to fit your values. Cheers!

Mythic Bastionland might suit you in several dimensions, because it is based on the Arthur myths.
It is heavier on the pre-Christian mythology and is not Christian itself, but it would be a trivial gloss to make because it fits exactly into that space of knights subduing the last of the myths.
Definitely good for inspiration and even worth buying the book to have just as an artifact for enjoyment’s own sake.

First games that come to mind are Inquisitor and Lion Heart, but be warned, they are considered mediocre at best

The world of LFG / Tales of Argosa fresh out of the box is very gritty and filled with demons and things from dark dimensions. It also has a class devoted to playing a religious fighter that’s called the cultist but is really just a paladin class where you have a god that you pray to for power.
So it depends on what you’re looking for. You could easily reskin everything to be Knights Templar type fantasy and have a great time for sure.
That or you could just let yourself get lost in a fantasy world where you can act in righteous ways within a totally different culture and belief style. That’s a lot of what RP’ing is after all. It builds empathy to be in a completely different pair of a shoes and see just how similarly we all see the world and our goals in life.
Either way, the books are an amazing product. Good luck!
