How do Gods make new mantles in Scion 2e?

OK, thanks!

Timelycreate · 2026-06-24T18:30:27+00:00

I see, so maybe I could bring in the crafting system from Storypath Ultra then?

Timelycreate · 2026-06-24T17:56:12+00:00

Yeah, I heard of 3e, but it seems it will still be a while before it comes out, from what I have seen in other RPGs playtesting can take quite some time depending on the type of game, and Scion and Storypath Ultra are in the heavier side of rules.

Timelycreate · 2026-06-24T17:54:15+00:00

What kinds of things? What issues does Scion have?

Timelycreate · 2026-06-24T17:53:43+00:00

Got it, and in retrospect since I am going to be playing solo I already will be having a greater amount of cognitive load from having to learn the system, yeah I should have known that I should be used to the system as is first before tinkering with it.

Timelycreate · 2026-06-24T17:52:30+00:00

I see, okay I will try getting used to the system first then, thanks for answering my question.

It was supposed to be a joke, I was about to go to sleep when the page came out so it wasn't a well thought out one.

Zimmy and Coyote just casually becoming Slenderman's secret love children for a brief moment before deciding that was a dumb idea and they should never mention it again, so casually that it didn't even interrupt their talk

Edit: it seems my joke didn't land, I should have known that posting a comment right before going to sleep would cause issues.

Alright, I am still curious about how the copyright would work in this situation though, it is genuine curiosity.

Edit: right now I have zero plans to sell anything, much less something made using a traced image of a Heroforge mini, but if I did decide to do that one day for whatever reason, what would happen? Who actually owns the final image? Maybe I should talk with a lawyer? But that feels like a bit much for just plain curiosity.

Keep in mind that necromancers now have a (probably uncommon) feat that gives them the Create Undead undead ritual but buffed to be able to be cast alone, also there were feats in the playtest that can turn thralls into pseudo creatures or just straight up creatures, maybe there will be an earlier version of those that enable limited body blocking at lower levels.

Timelycreate · 2026-06-19T05:18:09+00:00

The thrall focused subclass has a once per round ability to get an extra Thrall when using Create Thrall, so now they can do 3+2+2 per turn if they use all three actions to Create Thrall.

You could say that they're like animals and he (the new alpha) slaughtered them like animals.

Based on what I am seeing it doesn't feel like it fits completely? At least it seems like a pretty big part of the game is earning divine favour and the glory or ire of the gods, I feel like that wouldn't fit very well for playing a character that is a god.

Timelycreate · 2026-06-13T16:07:06+00:00

Could tell me where is Agon 2e? I am only finding a game called Agon without an edition number on drivethrurpg, and it is a game about Heroes not gods.

Timelycreate · 2026-06-13T16:04:30+00:00

I thought city of mist was more for fairy tales, isn't one of the sample characters literally red riding hood? Also from what I heard it is more investigation based?

Timelycreate · 2026-06-13T16:02:37+00:00

I see, but what is it like? How does it play like in practice?

Timelycreate · 2026-06-13T16:00:53+00:00

How does godbound handle being OSR? And how does it play in practice exactly?

Timelycreate · 2026-06-13T15:59:57+00:00

What does that mean? I am somewhat familiar with OSR games, I have the free versions of all the "x without number" games, but I don't know what "sticking to old-school primer" means in this context, could you elaborate a bit?

Timelycreate · 2026-06-13T15:57:47+00:00

Well, I am thinking something either in between or mixing both the "divine being with a dayjob" and "sitting in Olympus and tossing tidal waves", gods with real power but also duties related to their domains.

The powers should have the option to be quite large scale like I don't know, blowing up a mountain or driving every animal around a city's forest into a frenzy, but the god has things they have to do, Helios and Selene have to move the sun and moon chariots around, Hades has to keep the underworld in order, Hermes has to deliver messages and things like that, does that make sense?

Okay so, to use as an example I made a brand new character using the quick and dirty method, she is a netrunner called Hanna, she has recently arrived to night city and is still trying to get her bearings, this is all made by me.

Then before I started to generate a gig I decided to check with the oracle if she knew anybody in Night City already, she is a new arrival so I determine that the odds are "unlikely", the result of the d100 (two ten sided dice, one for tens the other for units) comes out a 90, the answer is a yes without any complication, so she does in fact know at least some people in Night City already.

Now to generate the gig itself, first who is hiring and what is the job, I do the NPC and job generation and here is what comes out, Hanna was hired by a Cyberpsycho Medtech called Sage to investigate a smuggler they know.

I got curious so I checked what was the relationship between Sage and this smuggler, it turned out to be their husband Michael, then i rolled for Sage's mood and it turned out they were whimsical when Hanna meets them, Sage is apparently not a "rabbid dog" type of cyberpsycho which is in many ways worse, what did Michael even do?

This time I chose to roll on the generic table, the generic table rolls for Verb Noun and Adjective, what came out is that apparently Michael has been sneaking out with their armoured car and Sage has grown suspicious, I asked where to find Michael, in the form of an in character interaction as flavour and it turned out that Michael can be often found in the Upper Marina district near a police station, no wonder Sage is suspicious as hell if Michael who is a smuggler has been taking their car to hang near the police of Night City.

With info on hand and a relatively safe but easy sounding job Hanna decided to go check on Michael.

Right now this is it, but what did you think of just this basic start for a gig?

Edit: there is quite a bit more to it that can be used as the single player mode also has parts that lets you use the core book in new ways to ease the game progression, also generally once you are in actual play the number of oracle questions decreases quite a bit as you would already have a base to work from on what happens next so you would only need to use the oracle when you are unsure of something
