What we know from the podcast about Scion: Masks of the Mythos (MotM for short) ...
• MotM is the Scion horror expansion bookthat expands the setting with a cosmic horror.
• MotM assumes that the Great Old Ones and other Cthulhu Mythos exist in the World with normal Gods - but actually operate outside of reality, outside of normal rules. Divinity is their metaphor for existence, but they actually exist outside of these principles. There are no Mythos Titans - they are all Titans-like to other deities.
• There are 13 Great Old Ones Patrons in MotM.
• The heirs of the Myths have a dark, twisted Fate - and they infect the world around with it. Most are Chosen (by the Stars) or Created - only a few are Born.
• Most of the game is about finding a balance between your human half - and the cosmic terror you bring to the world. 'Dark Hero' to say that. A bit like the Scions of the Titans. Only you corrupt the World by your presence.
• The Scions of Mythos do not have a Legend - they have an Awareness instead - although they generally do the same. Besides, they receive a different version of Purviews and Callings.
• MotM, following the tradition of the normal Call of Cthulhu RPG, extends the Procedurals rules to turn Heirs into investigators and researchers of the Lovecraft canon and others. ❤
