Scion Second Edition Errata and FAQ
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
by Paul B. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/31/2020 20:38:08

This Errata is woefully incomplete. There are many mistakes (minor in their nature but made larger by their multitude) still present in the final PDF that are not addressed in the errata document.

The overall feeling I get from this compiled Errata is that it's less an attempt at actually addressing all the many problems (most of which are minor typos, I admit) and more an attempt at damage control.

Also, the Origin book (the only one of the two that I've read so far) is not very well written. The order in which the informatin is presented, along with the writing itself, leads to quite a bit of unnecessary confusion and ambiguity. I was eventually able to make sense of all I've read so far, but not before reading other sections that presented the same information but phrased differently (and then managing to deduce meaning from the combination of both versions), or spending quite a bit of time puzzling over the meaning of various rules or just poorly presented information.

This is very sub-par for Onyx Path.

Scion Second Edition Book One: Origin

There's a good game in this book, there really is, but dear god is it ever tedious to get to, not impossible by any means, but definitely more work than I like to put into just reading an RPG book. The problem is that it's just not very well put together. The order in which the informatin is presented, as well as the quality of the writing, leads to quite a bit of unnecessary confusion and ambiguity. I was eventually able to make sense of pretty much everything (I think), but not before reading multiple sections that presented the same information phrased differently (and then managing to deduce meaning from the combination of both versions), or spending quite a bit of time puzzling over the meaning of various rules or just poorly presented information.

This definitely looks like a good game, but it really suffers due to bad presentation. Overall, the book doesn't live up to the kind of quality I've come to expect from Onyx Path. I haven't read Hero yet, hopefully it'll be a little bit better.
