If you enjoy my work on this channel, head to www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/curseborne-tabletop-roleplaying-game and click the "Notify Me on Launch" button. I'd love to reach 650 people on Curseborne - Onyx Path's new urban horror RPG - today. ❤❤❤ Oh, and within a day of my recording this video, Onyx Path Publishing released Scion: God in PDF and Print on Demand! You can pick it up here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/471716/scion-second-edition-book-four-god?affiliate_id=182989 👾👾👾

New player: So, what's Scion like? GM: Umm...have you haver seen Hercules in New York?

can i take a moment to vouch for Onyx Path on the Requiem Lore front? people say that you cant make character lore videos on Requiem because they didnt build an extensive list, but every clan book has sample bloodline characters, every night horror book has sample characters and there is still...i believe that it is called "immortal sinners" that details a ton of vampires. then you got some in Ancient Bloodlines, Ancient Mysteries and in other places too so i dont get this mindset that there are no characters to make lore videos about. hopefully we will have people making Curseborne character lore videos in the future

Scion 2nd was my first contact with Onyx Path works. And what a good first impression was that! I already liked 1st edition, even with its problems, but 2nd improved all what was already good and solved the flies in the soup. I had much fun SGing it, and really think it deserves more love from the public. It's an awesome game indeed.

I ran a game of scion for a friend and it was just like a starter adventure that had cards the game had. I really liked it.

I love Onyx Path's works as well as old White Wolf books (at least some of them). I haven't had the pleasure of neither running nor playing Scion but I certainly would love to check that.

I remeber when it first came out as Aeon Trinity and I still have the book. It was my Storytellers and I found it in a Halfprice books years later. i knoe it was his by the damage to the binding.

Thank you sir I'm a big fan of the Fables comics and if I can do fables with Sion then hell yeah!

Scion is very fun! 🤗

One thing I really don't like about virtues is that they are pantheon locked. I feel like it does trap a player who wants to possibly portray these two ideals into a much more limited choice of divine parents.

My opinion on Scion Second Edition varies greatly and that has nothing to do with the mechanics themselves. To sum it up, and I’m not trying to be rude here, it has an identity crisis. In the core books it sticks to Origin/Hero’s kickstarter ideal of being accurate to the cultures of each pantheon (mostly, the Tuatha are still a bit inaccurate) whilst in the supplementary material that isn’t always the case. Titanomachy was the worst of these offenders. Sure Dragon and Masks also exist, but those make their deviations obvious in their summaries (and names, no one should confuse Lovecraftian horrors for actual mythology) whilst Titanomachy does not. That isn’t to say Titanomachy is all negative, it has some well handled parts as well (the Orisha and Deva come to mind). Then again I am a history nerd. What bothers me isn’t necessarily going to bother the majority of the player base.

I loved the first edition of SCION and both ran and played it up though demigod. Not so much with 2nd edition. The whole thing just felt bloated. It might have run smoother had the new group been much more experienced in this specific system and background but the initial hump was too big for my group to get over. Honestly it didn't feel like I was playing/running 2ed SCION but an entirely different game that just happened to have some background similarities.

​​is that curseborne thing a Wod spinoff or their own thing. could use some more info on the kickstarter about the system its very limited on the kickstarter page . maybe a intro video or pages for get the concept but have a need to know the system, hopefully it comes later and have good day.
