No big announcements for you this month - our book is currently in Indexing before being the final PDF is released and print prep starts - but I do have a big preview today from one of our Stretch Goal projects - Scion: Divine Inspiration!
This chapter is dedicated completely to plot-seed packs, which span multiple acts and easily serve as a story — or even campaign — arc in their own right. The following is one such pack:
Stars and (Skunk) Stripes Forever
(Pre-Visitation Scion Origin)
Use this plot-seed pack to jumpstart a new campaign with Origin-level characters, drawing the players into the action and pushing them toward finding a way to deal with low-level threats before the stakes start to get higher. Perhaps they may even experience their Visitation during this plot-seed pack, likely in Act II when confronted with the Skunk of Unusual Size, which may or may not turn the tide of the events in their favor.
Act I begins as the skunks invade and quickly overwhelm a local Gathering of Three Fires. The stench can be smelled from several blocks away and seems to be growing ever stronger. Nothing has driven the skunks out of the burrows as far as anyone can tell, but that doesn’t mean something supernatural isn’t in play.
Act II reveals there is one Skunkof Unusual Size which seems to be the ringleader of a roving Band of skunks, roughly two to three times the average size. Even the bravest of canine companions are going “nope!” at it, and the Band will get caught up in a crush of humans, Denizens, and pets stampeding to get away. As far as anyone can tell, the skunks seem to be heading toward a convergence of sorts. The location can be wherever the Band is located. The Storyguide should choose whatever works best for the story or creates tension.
Act I: Who Let the Skunks Out?
Across North America, there have been reports of large migrations — and noxious encounters — with populations of American hog-nosed skunks. At first, no one thinks twice about it because skunks are a common sight, especially during late spring and early summer as many new kits are born. These surfeits of skunks have, quite succinctly, put a stink on traditional summer celebrations and folks from every walk of life and pantheon in the World have had enough.
Pulling Fate’s Threads
Trickster and nature deities, as well as pantheons allied to or are friendly with the Manitou have good reason to show up and be of assistance here — and they, in turn, nudge the pre-Visitation Band toward the problem. This plot-seed pack provides an excellent opportunity to introduce the characters to one of the Indigenous North American pantheons and discover their own connection to the land, perhaps developing better relationships therein.
Snags
The biggest of these skunks is immune to Knacks involving manipulation of animals and seems to be sentient. Whether or not the Band can communicate or find a way to deescalate the stinky situation will require them using problem solving skills.
A concerned citizen (Marisa Pillton) uploads a video to Nymphstagram that appears to show one of the skunks exhibiting rabid behavior, making the situation both more dangerous. This can also make the problem personal if it’s in their home neighborhood. Pillton’s broadcast also leads to an influx of curious onlookers, increasing the tension and severity of the situation unless they can get the video taken down.
That very same “concerned citizen” who uploaded the initial video on Nymphstagram has also been spotted trying to get close enough to the surfeit of skunks to take several candid shots with them. This makes her a clear target for some very mad (and potentially rabid) creatures.
A local dog got into a fight with one of the skunks, which — while being part of the surfeit terrorizing the area — is behaving differently. This one is an Animal Doadem (Scion: Titanomachy, p. 36) belonging to a (potential or current) Scion of the Manitou pantheon, the longstanding enemy of Aniwye. If the Band aids the Doadem creature, they may gain a new Creature Birthright. If they do not assist this singular skunk, they may find themselves in hot water with a Hero, Demigod, or even a God.
Act II: A Mighty (and Stinky) Wind
If the Band successfully manages to either round up or get the convergence of skunks into a singular area, such as a sports field or stadium, they may find themselves facing an even greater threat than they perhaps imagined — Aniwye, Manitou Titan and all-around pain in Nana’b’oozoo’s ass, is once again trying to assemble what others have taken to calling “Skunkatron.” That is, assuming his “final form” to prove to the Manitou (and humanity) once and for all who is the chief stinker of them all.
Pulling Fate’s Threads
At this point, the Bandmates may start to realize they aren’t just run-of-the-mill individuals trying to enjoy their summer events — they took charge of a stinky situation and others are looking to them for guidance. While no local Heroes (or Demigods) have made an appearance at this time to assist with the situation, that doesn’t mean they won’t offer a helping hand.
Snags
During the course of the confusion and turmoil, and while needing to defend against possibly rabid skunks, the characters find a hardened pipe-looking object which they can use to swipe against the animals to keep them away. This item is a Pawaugun (Scion: Titanomachy, p. 36) — a Relic belonging to a Manitou God who may want it back.
Elsewhere, there is clearly another mortal (Nero Delaune) who is trying to almost play a game of chicken with the skunks as they continue to amass in droves. If he gets too close to the largest of these (purportedly Aniwye himself), he will get sprayed, and it is up to the Band whether to assist or let him be.
A deity from a different pantheon is attracted to the rumors and, believing the SOUS is an actual skunk, wants to claim it for their menagerie, not realizing what the creature truly is. They ask the characters to either capture the skunk for them or to smooth over the diplomatic mess they made trying to trap Aniwye.
Characters
Aniwye (he/him), Titan (Manitou). The OG Stinker. Even among Titans, Aniwye is not taken seriously — he is literally a skunk of unusual size — but he is determined to get the respect he feels he is owed and is willing to cause problems on purpose to get his point across.
Nana’b’Ozoo (he/him), God (Manitou). Nana’b’oozoo is a strong believer in folks figuring out things on their own — it builds character! But if things are truly dire, he can come appear in a pinch and take another whack at Aniwye — for old time’s sake — if he can just find his pipe…
Marisa Pillton (she/her), pre-Visitation Scion (Bogovi). The “concerned citizen” who uploaded the video of the skunk riot on Nymphastagram. She is constantly trying to be an on-the-ground, on-the-go type of guerilla journalist, but she fails because she lacks credibility. Pillton can either serve as foil or ally, depending on if the Band takes her aspirations seriously.
Nero Delaune (he/him), pre-Visitation Scion (Òrìshà). He attempts to play chicken with some giant skunks (it makes for a great story to tell later) — Nero clearly does things just because he can, and you never know if he’ll be a help or hinderance.

This is the first version of Scion: God for Scion Second Edition to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce theScion: GodFeedback Form!
They are aware of the Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.
Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for the next week. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file - and working on our print version as well!
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.
SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the advance PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!
I'll be back next month with our regular monthly update for March. I'll be able to update our progress track and list the Backer PDF in the "Distributed Rewards" list! Good Stuff!

DIVINE INSPIRATION
Scion: Divine Inspiration is a book that serves to establish, provide depth to, and – as the title implies – inspire your Scion stories, whether you’re a Storyguide or a player. Enjoy some of these fun and bizarre plot seeds from Chapter One of this upcoming book, with many more found within the finished article:
Plot Seeds
Plot seeds provide enough material to span one or a few sessions, depending on your group’s play style and how many snags you throw at them. Each comes with a list of main characters, which you can use in later plot seeds of your own.
Black Jack’s Deal
(Scion Origin)
The Lucky Fox, present day. A local haunt for those seeking libations off the beaten path, the Lucky Fox is a bar run, well, by a fox. A Kitsune by the name of Kamataro no Kami, to be exact. Lithe of form and nimble of hand, dressed smartly in an old-timey shirt, vest, and tie, Kamataro deals in information and takes bets for various gods on who will be the next one to unveil a wayward Scion — sometimes in his very own establishment. Unbeknownst to the Band of friends, Kamataro is backed by a Titan but is tight-lipped about whom he serves.
Pulling Fate’s Threads
While popping in for a drink, Kamataro no Kami draws a card from one of his decks and slips it to the characters, asking if they are willing to play a little game of Black Jack’s Deal — blackjack, but with a twist. Those who play the game may be rewarded with great acclaim, or they may fall into obscurity and ill repute. It is a game of chance, yet also a matter of personal choice. The characters feel inexplicably pulled to whatever forces of Fate are at play, for better or worse.
With each card drawn, complications arise that they must overcome — perhaps revealing more about themselves than they could possibly realize. They might fight a patron or may find themselves going toe to toe with a God in real time, as Kamataro’s deck is no ordinary playing deck — it is clearly some manner of Relic consisting of traditional playing cards, major and minor arcana tarot cards, some Hanafuda cards, and even the occasional salaryman’s business card — each causing a unique (and potentially dangerous) event to take place.
Snags
Kamataro’s eyes never seem to be off the characters — making it difficult to pull any fast ones on the wily old fox. Attempts at Subterfuge have a +1 Complication.
The nosy busybody that is Marisa Pillton is constantly jostling the Band, causing them to lose focus, as she tries to line up the perfect candid shot of herself with Kamataro.
A sly old fisherman rolls up to the table, sliding the characters some cryptic advice while trying to swap cards out from their hands without catching the attention of the clever fox.
The fox and the old fisherman get into a heated exchange of words, and some of Kamataro’s more “unique” cards begin to tumble out of the deck — like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off and cause chaos.
A mysterious card is flipped on the table, depicting a giant catfish in a form reminiscent of a maneki-neko, as an earthquake begins to rattle the establishment and sends patrons and cards flying.
Characters
That Sly Ol’ Fox: Kamataro no Kami (he/him), Denizen. The purveyor of the Lucky Fox, Kamataro no Kami is as sly a fox as they come. Playing the cards close to his chest, one never knows if he’s going to help or cause a shake up in the status quo among Gods, Titans, and their respective chosen. All that is known about Kamataro’s benefactor is that they dislike fishermen.
Nosy Busybody: Marisa Pillton (she/her), pre-Visitation Hero (Te?tl). Never far from where the action is, Marsia Pillton is a self-proclaimed Nymphstagram -influencer-turned-would-be-newscaster who often hangs out at the Lucky Fox, hoping to get front-row seats to a Visitation.
Humble Patron: Ebisu (he/him), God (Kami). Appearing when the situation has grown perhaps too dire for the characters to handle, a kindly old fisherman arrives at the Lucky Fox, prepared to hook a whale (or troublemaking Kitsune), or offer a lucky bit of advice that can turn the tide of the game around.
Careless Whispers
(Heroic Denizen)
Washington, D.C. Senator Belle Deveaux’s zealotic rhetoric has sent America into a cultural tailspin. Though her senate campaign painted her as an advocate for “a return to freedom,” now that she’s taken office, she’s launched the kind of witch hunt Senator Joe McCarthy would be proud of — one that targets marginalized communities as much as it does her political opponents. Mister Whisper, her Fair Folk benefactor, is less than pleased with the senator’s heel-turn; Deveaux was supposed to be his pipeline into the darkest echelons of the D.C. rumor mill, not some bigot with a neo-fascist agenda. She has become an inconvenience, an unreliable pawn in Mister Whisper’s World-spanning chess game, and the time has come to remove her from the board.
Note to the Storyguide: We’ve left the target of Deveaux’s hatred deliberately nebulous, for you to fill in as suits the tenor of your campaign, as well as your players’ comfort and consent.
Pulling Fate’s Threads
Oppressive politics have a way of rippling out beyond the borders of the mundane world. The Denizen political body, the Court of Whispers, and its Speaker Memphis Ford, are increasingly concerned about the harmful rhetoric as Denizens are often part of the same marginalized communities Deveaux is targeting — in fact, that’s an excellent way to make the stakes personal. Mister Whisper himself is equally furious with the senator, not only because of the danger she poses to anyone who doesn’t conform to her worldviews, but because she’s made him look a fool.
Snags
While virtually everyone agrees Senator Deveaux is an issue, not everyone believes she should be removed from power. A Dragon Heir has been dispatched to claim Mr. Whisper’s discarded pawn for their master, who seeks to use Deveaux’s influence for their own gain.
Mister Whisper is a formidable purveyor of secrets, but he is not omniscient, and he has been known to occasionally underestimate his rivals. He doesn’t know, for example, that the reason he can’t reach Deveaux is because she’s made a pact with another Fair Folk Denizen whose warding magic removes her from Mister Whisper’s sphere of control. This Denizen seeks to supplant Mister Whisper as the World’s premier shadow broker, and they’re willing to use the lives and livelihoods of marginalized citizens to do it.
As political and cultural tensions reach a crescendo, the amulet at Deveaux’s throat sups gleefully on the discord. Soon it will fully awaken, granting her the power to bend the will of all who hear her.
Characters
The Incorrigible Instigator: Casey Faulk (they/them), pre-Visitation Scion of Teutates (Nemetondevos). A gifted storyteller, folklorist, and popular radio host, Casey has a bone to pick with Senator Deveaux. Blacklisting has claimed the livelihoods of many of their friends, and Faulk — never one to shy away from conflict — knows exactly who to blame. They have quite the communications reach and would be more than happy to use it to disseminate the truth.
The Legal Eagle: Nora Welch (she/her), lawyer and Legendary Warrior. Long ago, she was Buffalo Calf Road Woman of the Northern Cheyenne, a fierce warrior who saved her chieftain brother on the battlefield and struck the blow that knocked General Custer from his horse. Now she fights oppression as Nora Welch, a civil rights attorney in the heart of D.C., and she is deeply unimpressed with Deveaux’s attack on marginalized communities. She and her team of legal professionals can tie the senator in litigation knots, if given the chance, and perhaps stem the tide of Deveaux’s attempts at institutionalized bigotry.
The Puppet Master Subverted: Mister Whisper (he/him), Fair Folk trickster. Though he does his best to remain inscrutable, Mister Whisper’s rage has reached such nuclear levels it’s a wonder it doesn’t show up on a Geiger counter. Something isn’t right here, and it’s bigger than one rogue senator. His web of intrigue shudders under the steps of an encroaching threat, yet, for perhaps the first time, he’s unable to define it. Someone is trying to turn the tables on him, and unless he helps the Scions take down Deveaux, he may not figure out who before it’s too late. Every one of his motivations is self-serving — they always are — but even those who despise Mister Whisper are forced to agree that, when it comes to secret eaters, it’s better to deal with the devil you know.
The False Prophet: Senator Belle Deveaux (she/her), U.S. senator. Patient, cunning, and single-minded, Belle Deveaux knows how to play the long game. She’s been grasping at power her whole life and has found the easiest method of attaining it is to say and do whatever polls best on conservative news networks. Following a spate of crimes and controversies exposing the rise of fascism in America, Deveaux has identified her target demographic — one whose long-simmering bitterness makes them both dangerous and pliable. They are looking for someone to worship, someone to give voice to their ignorance, someone who can provide them with outlets for their hate. Deveaux can do all three, and once the Relic in her possession slakes its thirst upon the chaos her foul machinations have unleashed, she’ll be able to grasp at power more otherworldly — the kind her patrons, both former and current, so deftly wield.
Childhood’s Dreams
(Heroic Prophets)
Anywhere. All the children of a city have gone to sleep one night and just never woke up, as if they’ve all fallen into a coma. It has been weeks now and, while the first concern was the health of the children (who are kept nourished by the same force that has rendered them catatonic) and how to awaken them from their slumber, now strange people and creatures populate the city when the sun sets. Some act as normal residents, others cause chaos and mayhem, and some seem to be awaiting something as they gather in parks and sit silently for what is about to come.
Pulling Fate’s Threads
If children are not waking up and weird dream beings are wandering around at night, then this is definitely a situation in which the reputation of a Prophet is forged. Some of the dream creatures should pose a threat to the Band but most of them should be neutral, while a small few are actually helpful. The Prophet should have a personal stake in the situation at hand: perhaps someone young and close to the Prophet has fallen asleep, or they’ve foreseen this event in a vision. The Prophet’s own dreamscape is also interrupted as one of the sleeping children visits their dreams.
Snags
Some of the dream beings are invincible until the situation is dealt with. The Band can only fight them off and flee, but not defeat them, like an inescapable nightmare.
The event has triggered militant doomsday movements led by an unscrupulous Prophet who demands the Band not interfere. They take it very personally if the Band ignores this demand.
City and civil authorities welcome the characters with open arms, but there’s a caveat as with all dealings with a municipal bureaucracy. A city official, assigned directly to the Band, will consistently be with them to remind them of city laws, regulations, and how much they have to pay back for any damage or destruction.
Characters
Antagonist: Candide Mercado (she/her), Sorcerer. She is responsible for the spell that has caused the children to sleep and is harnessing the power of their dreams for an unspecified grand ritual. Tailor the ritual, its dangers, and its purpose to your current season. It may be a good idea to connect them to a greater danger that the characters have to face later in the season.
Dream Ally: Cally the Clown (any), dream being. Cally, despite being a clown, is not the stuff of nightmares, but of a child’s fondest dreams. They are helpful and goofy, a joy to be around, but not all that powerful. Instead, they are most helpful when providing insight on how to deal with some of the dream beings and deciphering clues on where to find Candide Mercado.
Dream Beast: The Parental Colossus (he/him, she/her), dream being. An amalgam of the worst possible archetypes of parenthood mashed together into a hideous giant that is both mother and father. This dream being seeks to “discipline” the city and put its residents into time out or, worse yet, hit them with a belt until they submit. Cally the Clown does not know how to defeat it, but the Storyguide should come up with something either relating to direct combat and/or forcing The Parental Colossus to see the error of its ways. A tried-and-tested method is one of setting firm boundaries and breaking contact with the parental figure, but there may be more nuanced ways of dealing with it.
Wildcard Revolutionary: Xavier Richards (he/him), Prophet. Xavier may be a danger due to his violent and destructive methods, but he honestly seeks to help both his followers against the threat at hand and the city, which he seeks to overthrow. They are a doomsday militia that believes everything Xavier has said would happen is currently happening and are militantly dedicated to him, He and his militia could ally with the Band (only if the Bandmates agree to support his claim to the city) or they could be a threat to the Band’s attempts to bring order back and stop the ritual.

As Scion Second Edition and the Trinity Continuum grew and expanded over the years, many new players were able to join in and explore The World and new eras within the Continuum. Now it's time to get those early core books back into print!
At 2:00 PM Easter today, we'll be launching a quick campaign for backers to pre-order these second printings. Sign up to get notified at launch!

Just before we finish up in December, Onyx Path has put up the Advance PDF version of Scion: Once & Future for purchase on DriveThruRPG.com.
SCION: ONCE & FUTURE
The Pendragon’s Mantle lies incomplete, an unfinished story waiting for the right Scion to fill the role. Will you complete Arthur’s legend? Or are you doomed to fail, like so many others?
Once and Future supplements Origin through Demigodplay, discussing the power of Mantles and the threat of failure that leaves behind unfinished legends.
Once and Future contains:
Brand-new Welsh pantheon: the Plant Dôn
Storyguiding advice for running Arthurian-themed campaigns at all three levels of play
New rules for playing historical games
Three adventures at each level of play, meant to be enjoyed in a sequence or slotted independently into ongoing Scion Second Edition games

So, some slight movement this month. Our main book has begun Art Direction, where art notes are written up by the team for the Art Director to assign to artists.

CURRENTLY CROWDFUNDING
Join in on the latest Exalted expansion sourcebook
Never before has Creation known the perils of the Abyssal Exalted. They have emerged from the gloom of the Underworld as champions of death, sworn to the service of the Deathlords and the Neverborn. Each was offered the gift of the Bleak Exaltation at the moment of their own demise, and each chose to willingly become an agent of the apocalypse. Their motivations are as manifold as any others — they may seek destruction or domination, malice or justice, ancient secrets hidden and forbidden or sheer iron-willed survival.
In service to their lieges, these deathknights will grind the Underworld to heel and scour life from the face of Creation. Or…they might break from those oaths and set themselves up as death’s own Lawgivers, ruling empires of the dead as sages, arbiters, and reapers. All that can be known for sure is that with the Abyssal Exalted loosed upon the world, it will never be the same again.
No big news yet. I asked if there was any new artwork or designs to share, but nothing for me yet. So, let's get right to our monthly update. I'll be quick!

The World Below is a game of adversity, heroism, terror, and awe. Your characters will overcome or be defeated by terrible beasts, environmental calamities, and Kaos storms ravaging their surroundings and the souls around them. They will chart their journeys, chronicle their tales, and pass their stories down to their descendants, who will in turn become your characters when your old ones perish or retire.
The World Below provides. But you must dig. You must explore. You must map. You must build. You must defend.
The World Below provides, but only to the worthy. The unworthy fall, consumed by bugs, lava, acidic fog, the vagaries of Kaos, and the World Below’s convulsing tunnels.
The World Below is your home, your prison, and your alien world containing terrible threats and wondrous discoveries.
The World Below is a complete tabletop roleplaying game, and includes:
Numerous playable options, some from the traditional fantasy mold, others unique to the World Below.
The complete Storypath Ultra System, allowing you to play this game straight from the book.
A myriad of settings, monsters, powers, and abilities for use in your stories, which you can play as minimalist dungeon crawls or World Below-spanning expeditions.
No big news for this update, but some nice progress on our tracking chart. Before I get to that, though, I've got a quick reminder about Onyx Path's current Scion project.
FINAL 48ish HOURS FOR TITANS RISING
Titans Rising builds on the foundations of Scion: Titanomachy, explaining the grand conflict between the Gods and Titans. It delves into the very heart of Titanhood, revealing that some Titans truly are just misunderstood and that conflict based on whom someone’s parents are is problematic at best. The book presents Titanic Scions — not just as playable characters, but as heroes, despite their bitter conflicts with some of Scion's more established names, like Eric Donner, Yukiko Kuromizu, and Little Mao. Can your game’s Scions repair the rift between Gods and Titans? How many Titans are better than their reputation and which Gods are worse than theirs? Whom can your Scions trust and whom must be destroyed once and for all?
Beyond moral quandaries, Titans Rising also opens wide the doors of player options for Titanic characters, including new ways to engage in high level gameplay as leaders of a besieging army who seek to reclaim their homeland from the Gods. And for games fighting on the Gods’ side of the Titanomachy, there are numerous plot seeds, adversaries, and Birthrights to be used against the Titans and their Scions.
The project has funded and already added some Stretch Goals including two new supplements. If you join in now, you're able to read the entire current draft of the manuscript before any pledges are processed on Thursday!

During our campaign, I try and throw in as many Stretch Goal targets as possible.

Titans Rising looks hard at Titans, their Scions, and their servants as one side in the war, fleshing out the conflict between these two divine factions and delving into the heart of what it means to be the Offspring of a Titan. It includes rules for playing Titanic Scions, profiles of characters and creatures to fight against or alongside, and an in-depth look at how to use the Second Titanomachy in your Scion game.
Rules for creating Titanic Scions at Origin, Hero, Demigod, and God-tier, including over 50 new Knacks and 60 Birthrights.
Profiles and agendas for 50 Titans to use as foes or progenitors.
46 new Antagonists to challenge characters from pre-Visitation to post-Apotheosis.
27 ready-to-use story seeds, suitable for standalone stories or short arcs.
Indeed, as noted, Titans Rising builds upon the foundation laid out in Titanomachy. As as Rich noted in the recent Monday Meeting Notes,
This Kickstarter is so that we can traditionally print Titanomachy and also its sequel: Titans Rising! TR is entirely new to y’all, and of course, Titanomachy has already been a smash-hit in PDF and PoD versions on DTRPG! It got such a great response that we figure that getting it traditionally printed and into stores along with its sequel will give a whole ‘nother audience a chance to check them out!
It's 23-08-23, so the perfect day for a Scion update. I've got our regular status check in on our projects, and then I wanted to share some information about the next big - and I mean BIG - Scion Second Edition project!

TITANS RISING
The First Titanomachy concluded millennia ago, with the Gods climbing over the shattered bodies of their foes to claim the thrones of the Overworlds. The defeated Titans lay buried beneath the World or imprisoned by the war’s victors. But Titans have always lived by their own terms, and those do not include staying dead or in chains. One by one, Titans claw their way back up from their prisons and Underworlds. This time, they gather in shadows, growing in strength and numbers.
It is only a matter of time before the struggle between the Titans and the Gods lunges from the shadows, setting entire Realms ablaze and even spilling out into the World.
That time draws nigh.
Now is the time of Titans Rising.
Titans Rising builds on the foundations of Scion: Titanomachy, explaining the grand conflict between the Gods and Titans. It delves into the very heart of Titanhood, revealing that some Titans truly are just misunderstood and that conflict based on whom someone’s parents are is problematic at best.

You can sign up and be sure to get notified before it goes live right here:
Just to give you folks a little idea of what’s actually in Titans Rising, here are some thoughts from two of the book’s developers:
DAVID CASTRO: Titans Rising will bring the titans of pantheons from Demigod, God, Once and Future, and Masks of the Mythos to fans, giving them the full length and breadth of the World and its antagonists. It provides rules for Titanic Scions at the Demigod and God levels of play, and explores the implications of the Second Titanomachy on the World, and on your games both as a player and as a Story Guide. All in all, Titans Rising provides options for all player options, regardless of which side of the Titanomachy they find themselves on.
CAT EVANS: Playable Titans. Playable Titans, Playable Titans, playable Titans. Play them at any tier! Play them as heroes, monsters, or complicated, multifaceted individuals! Play them in the chapter of story hooks and tracks we’ve provided, or weave them into your ongoing games. Give them new Callings, Birthrights and Knacks. Most of all, play them to finally call the Gods on their bullshit.
Hope that piques your curiosity and you’ll join us on Tuesday the 29th!

NOW FUNDING ON BACKERKIT
Trinity Continuum: Aegis is a game of epic adventure and exploration set during Greece’s Iron Age. The setting features figures and events from history and mythology, viewed through the lens of the Trinity Continuum. In this game you’ll play Champions, Oracles, and Olympians — characters who have come into contact with the mysterious substance called ambrosia and been transformed into Inspired individuals with powers similar to Talents, Psiads, and Novas millennia ahead of their counterparts’ times. These characters live in an age of wonder and discovery. People in the ancient world made amazing strides in science, exploration, and philosophy, all while grappling (sometimes literally!) with gods and monsters. About a decade ago, bright streaks flashed across the sky and a fiery object crashed into Mount Olympus. Other pieces landed throughout the world, creating heroes and horrors wherever they touched down.
Trinity Continuum: Aegis continues to explore the Trinity Continuum’s themes of hope, sacrifice, and unity — in an age where societies are in decline and survival sometimes feels uncertain, these are the tenets under which people band together.
As we come to the final days of June, it's time once again for our monthly check in. No big announcements any time soon, but I've got some great recorded panels to share with you from the recent annual Onyx Path Virtual Gaming Convention.
First up, check out the SCION PANEL, dealing with all things in the works regarding Scion at Onyx Path. Featuring Hiromi Cota, Coyote Crow, Spider B. Perry, and Geoffrey M, you can check that out <HERE>
And then broadening into a system Q&A, here's the Storypath Q&A panel to learn more about the refinements and evolution of the system that powers Scion. This has Onyx Path big brains Danielle Lauzon, Eddy Webb, and Matthew Dawkins. You can see that panel <HERE>
Lots of great stuff in the works!
