Scion

Another month, another WARGS meeting. And at this one, I got to play a game of Scion named Ethel of Troy. (The most beautiful woman in the world, who has gone missing.)

My overwhelming impressions: combat system a little too hard to actually do any damage, and this is to d10s what Shadowrun is to d6s.

Which isn't to say we didn't have fun. I was a son of Hel, and a paranormal investigator (I see dead people... and can talk to them. Very helpful when investigating crime scenes). Not that there was too much crime scene investigating (no-one dying when we started, and the death that did occur we could work out quite easily who did it, because we were there), but we all got do flashy abilities and engage in a long fight scene.

Not much interest in the vampire side of role-playing games, which While Wolf specialise in, but I'd be happy to return to this world again.

Interestingly, at the meeting, less than half were actually involved in the roleplaying (which was just this game. There were two games on offer, but only a handful of people, and half of us had done the other game, so...). The others were board/card gaming. Really putting the R in WARGS...
