Scion: Origins - A fantastic addition to the Onyx Path's Scion Setting, the second edition of Scion is now in beta testing...

In this bonus episode, join Emma, David and Jimbles as they play through a home-crafted setting by Callie. Laugh at an upstart duellist, feel the tension during a political proposition and be entranced by the worldbuilding by master storyteller Callie! See, I thought it would be a good idea to have an example of what our games are gonna be like, as a "Why should I listen to these jerks?" Remember to vote in the game choosing contest!
