Scion 2nd ed

[HairyHeretic]

So, with a little luck the rules for 2nd ed will be out next month for those who bought in on the kickstarter. Is anyone planning to run a 2nd ed game once we have the rules in hand? Scion is one of my favourite games, despite whatever flaws the 1st ed system had, and I'm eager to play a 2nd ed game. Anyone else interested, or better yet, planning to run a game?

Also a backer, also interested, won't be able to run though.

I never played 1e because of the various system flaws. It'll be interesting to compare my first-time experience to those who've played 1e a lot.

[HairyHeretic]

I played from a starting level character up to legend 8 demigods. There were a few system issues, but house rules sorted most of them out for our group. I didn't find the system that bad to play with, all things considered.

[Bowen]

Completely interested in a Scion game. Love the idea. Couldn't run it though, but I'd love to play.

[VioletPanda]

I'd be interested!

[Empyrean]

I'd be interested as a player.

Unfortunately it looks like they're not going to meet the original release date, so we're going to have to wait a bit longer for 2nd ed. Hopefully not too much though.

I hadn't any idea that they were doing this...H2, what's the major changes they're planning on making to the game?  Have they said?

(Also, what house rules do you generally refer to for 1e?)

[HairyHeretic]

Houserules I normally stick in the first post of my OOC thread. These would be my main ones

When determining damage, Perception is added to ranged attacks in the same way that Strength is added to melee ones.

Art, Control, Craft and Science give a number of specialties equal to the number of dots which have been put in.

First dot of ePerception gets you Scent the Divine for free

No weapon can be improved below speed 4

Untouchable Opponent adds 1 point of DV per point of Epic Dex rather than doubling the eDex benefit

Boons and knacks that directly target a creature or person may be resisted with an Integrity + Willpower + Legend roll unless otherwise stated.

You don't buy Legend increases, GM awards it at appropriate points.


And 2nd ed seems to be changing quite a lot of stuff. There's been a few snippits posted on the kickstarter page, showing stuff off at different times. There's a compilation of what has been revealed, and other info we know here

I backed second edition, am likely going to be playing it or running it as well.

[HairyHeretic]

Excellent. Let me know if you start a game up, I'd like to be able to play as well as run it.
