And here I am introducing a new Tag I will be using on my posts, "Retro." As I move posts from my previous blog to this one, you may occasionally see the "Retro" tag. This implies the post was time-sensitive when it was originally being written; like White Wolf's latest April Fools Release.
Scion: Extras (Supplemental, Yet can be Somewhat Useful on Occasions, Scions)
Oh gods, I can't believe I forgot about keeping an eye out for White Wolf's newest April Fool's release. In the past, White Wolf has used April Fool's Day to poke fun at their own products while giving their costumers a good laugh. Dudes of Legend ended up spawning the best pick-up game of Vampire I have ever had the joy of playing, leaving all of us at the table crying from laughter. This year, they released Scion: Extras (Supplemental, Yet Can Be Somewhat Useful On Occasions, Scions). Scion is not a World of Darkness product, but if one is familiar with one, it is quick to learn the other.
Now I have a long, and troubled, history with Scion. For the better part of three years, I DM'ed the game off and on, receiving little satisfaction from my players. There were times when the system was unwieldy, and brand new players were easily overwhelmed at character creation. Over and over again, I saw beefcake combat-monkey characters be created, with little imagination put into their character's birthrights, always the same enhanced weapons and armor. Yet it always remained my guilty pleasure, hoping that one day I will discover a group that would embrace the game in new and creative ways. Tonight, I will be taking a look at Scion: Extras, and hopefully, will be getting a laugh while rekindling my love for the system.
