Scion 2E Demigod official

[wyrdhamster]

Scion 2E Demigod got to First Draft! ( Monday Meeting Notes )

... and it still can be ( probably ) two years before it's premiere ( knowing previous OPP publication history ).

More like 5.

Not to start a dispute, but OP has been getting much better about production times, and there's no core system development required for this release. I could potentially see the KS late this year or early next and the finished PDF in as little as 18 months.

But then again, I'm an optimist.

Wait, original KS for Scion 2E did not included Demigod and God corebooks?

[Emerick]

No it didn"t, it had option for getting the whole first edition but aside from that you only got Origins and Heroes

Pledging too many books to backers at once in a single Kickstarter is how you cut off future revenue flow and have to lay off your entire staff with still more promised books you’re not going to see much new money on before you can get around to producing anything new to actually sell. Just ask John Wick Presents.

Demigod and God will each get their own kickstarters with stretchgoals building supplements for each.



Anyway, one aspect to look forward to here with how Onyx Path kickstarters now work is that we’ll get the full preview text for each book in their Kickstarter. So there is much less delay now till we get update material for our ongoing games.

And all of the reward levels were very clear you were getting Scion: Origins and Scion: Hero only. (Assuming you pledged for a level with both of them in it.)

Also one of the biggest element in the time it took to produce scion was designing the storypath system. (in conjunction with another game being made at roughly the same time).
This simply isnt a concern for demigod and god.

However, WHOLE POINT of Scion 2E was that mechanics for Demigod and God to be fixed. I suspect, they need to put special care for playtesting those books when written.

As we’ve mentioned just so many times, Storypath was designed specifically to enable play at the sort of levels of power that are in Demigod and God (and Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, too), so that rules work heavy lifting has been done already.

Yes, but the heavy lifting is done via Scale already being a printed thing in that regard.

Edit: Oh! What RichT said.
