After all the namby pamby bantering about about how Scion is different than Exalted: Modern and all hat.
I just downloaded the demo, and it IS modern day Exalted (stunt dice and all)!
This, my friends is a good thing.
Holmes: Aha! Elementary, my dear Watson! The perpetrator was a messenger!
Watson: How so Holmes? How the deuce did you deduce that?
Holmes: Why obviously, the victim was hand de-livered.

That's debatable.
I had a very small interest in checking this game out, but it being anything like Exalted just killed that. :D

No.
I'm happy. Just not about Scion.
I think that means we both win.
I'm glad u like it.
It's leaving me a bit cold but I think that's because I don't care for yet another modern-occult setting.
I think Scion might work for me if I push it into the future, like a Solar System-wide Earth empire. It'll give me a bigger sandbox and more toys to play with as a GM.

To be fair, so far
Scion has seemed to be more about beating up ninjas and giants on the city streets than the occult as such. They don't strike me as a particularly subtle or secret bunch: this "Fatebinding" might force them to show a bit of restraint, but even that's probably not going to be as restrictive, say, Paradox in
Mage.

Good point. It's more like a mythic "Heroes" than WoD / Buffy / Witchcraft.
