Scion:Hero is, in my opinion, one of the best games to come out in long time. Of course, as I write this review, the game itself has been out for some time. That is besides the point. I have been playing Scion for almost a year now and it still never ceases to amaze me.
The amount of detail that went into this game is awesome. And the artwork, typical in White Wolf style, generated with perfection to fit the mood of the the game created; the Scion world.
It's not just about playing a charater that may become a god, but playing as a charater who is thrust into the nigh improbable. If you read Eric Donner's story in the start of the book then you will see what it takes to be a child of the gods.
The powers are out of this world. Everything is at your fingertips, everything, from the start of the game. If you want to fly, shoot ligtning, see the future, talk to animals, be stronger, a god class fighter... anything you can think of, it's there. ... Read More

Ever wanted to be a Hero in modern life?
Well at least you can play one with SCION:Hero.
This awesome and direct game is a kind of a new RPG material. In it you are described as a child of a God that has the potential to uncover its Legend in the world and save it from attacks of hidden mythic monsters. The book is full of powers, knacks, epic attributes, ideas, stunts, relics and cool ideas as how to develop your starting human into a full fledged Hero.
Imagine jumping several yads in a single hop, throwing sewer crates with ease, been the most beautiful (or dreadful) person in a Red Carpet Event, controlling the wind or breathing underwater, sustaining massive damage, saving people, commanding with your presence or voice, etc..
Definitely a MUST for the Hero-kind of players who want a quick system and a easy storytelling feel.

Scion: Hero is the first installment of the Scion series, to include Demi-God, God and soon to be released Companion and Ragnarok.
I'm going to break down the book by a few categories, feel free to use the headings to guide you, or read it all.
Presentation:
The book is beautiful. The cover art and depiction of the deities is wonderful and illustrations throughout highlight scenes of gameplay and are generally entertaining. Very similiar to the new World of Darkness books.
Concept:
The gods of old (Japanese, Aztec, Loa/Voodo, Greek/Roman, Egyptian, Norse) have been preparing for war with the recently escaped Titans whom they'd sealed away for thousands of years. In step with their preparations the gods of come to the material world to create children endowed with some of their god like power and the ability to transcend their own human limitations to god hood. These concepts should be pretty familiar to someone who has read American Gods ... Read More

Scion is like cable tv. In order to get what you want, you have to buy a package that contains a lot of stuff you don't want, don't need, will probably never use and which only serves to drive up the price of the total package. Ideally the Scion manuals would consist of a player's handbook, a separate Storyteller's guide, and maybe a softcover campaign pack. Unfortunately that's not how the Scion books are packaged. Instead all three of those elements are combined into a set of three books which are divided based on power level rather than target audience. What that means is that if you're a player, you've still got to buy all three books, with a combined list price of over $100, just to get the full 200-250 pages of information (100-150 pages from Scion: Hero and 50 pages each from Scion: Demigod and Scion: God) that players need. That's not very good value for your money. For Storytellers the situation is a little better. Most Storytellers will find about half of every book useful ... Read More
