Either way, if I wanted a game about half-gods, I'd rather use UA2 with Avatars instead. <br/>And I was wondering if BoL or In a Wicked Age would work well for a PbP ;).<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I don't know either of those games, so can't comment.<br/><br/>Having played Scion for a while, I wouldn't call it broken. There are a few things need tweaked, but they seem to have been identified on the forums, and a few commonly adopted house rules sort the worst offenders.<br/><br/>The style is high power play though. You don't have the usual "hide the weird stuff" vibe, if you choose not to do it. Admittedly our own group has tended to do that, but it's not a requirement of the game. You want to take over your own country, you can do it. But you'll be in the public eye then, and there is always something nastier than you. :)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2923402#msg2923402">Quote from: Thufir Hawat on 10-04-2010, 01:15:42</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I must admit that of all these, I'm only familiar with Qin and Exalted. So far, I just love Qin, and I love the setting of Exalted.

MY longest running campaign was 3 years doing the City of Lies for L5R. Technically we finished the main part of the campaign 6 months before the end, but my players wouldn't let me stop til they'd solved all the mysteries :)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2923402#msg2923402">Quote from: Thufir Hawat on 10-04-2010, 01:15:42</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Sounds like a great game &gt;:)! As I said, the reason I'm not likely to play Scion is in the mechanics. Maybe it's just me, but they do matter to me. If I wanted to play Scion, I would just port the ideas to another system, or heavily house-rule the current one.<br/>But until we finish the current, heavily houseruled Exalted game, it's just not on my "to do" list ;). That's another reason I don't need to read the Dresden game!<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Pff .. like you need to read the rules to get started ;)<br/><br/>Tell me, have you tried Scion, or are you going on 2nd hand info concerning the rules? I'm curious as to what you think is broken.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2923402#msg2923402">Quote from: Thufir Hawat on 10-04-2010, 01:15:42</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">There are always more games than time to play them, I think it's a conspiration O8)!<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Oh yes, quite familiar with this :)
