White Wolf's "Scion: God" And "Fall Of The Camarilla" Shipping Now

White Wolf's January releases are shipping now, which means they should arrive in stores this week. Those releases happen to be supplements for two World of Darkness games I've played and enjoyed quite recently, so I'm happy with the news (though my GM's wallet won't be quite so happy).

The first is Scion: God, the third game in the line after Scion: Hero and Scion: Demigod. As indicated by the title, this little baby will take your power level to new heights, making your Scion into something far more than a God's lackey—that is, making them into a God. Your characters will be joining the ranks of the epic Overworld war between the Gods and the Titans—can they turn the tide?

The second is a chronicle for the recent Vampire supplement, Requiem for Rome, entitled Fall of the Camarilla. With the fall of the Roman empire also comes the fall of the Camarilla—this supplement allows you to roleplay those events from the first sign of the downfall to the final collapse a hundred years later. On top of that it has rules to roleplay multiple perspectives in those tumultuous times, either as valiant Camarilla heroes or those integral to their collapse. Plus there are histories of three of the modern-day covenants as well as resources for campaigns set in none other than Byzantium. I was disappointed with the Time of Judgement releases that ended the old World of Darkness, but I have to say, this particular apocalypse scenario seems pretty cool.

I've never really played any of the White Wolf Games (though I like them in concept), but the idea of a game set in Acient Rome and apparently Byzantium is pretty appealing!

minor correction. Of these two only Fall of the Camarilla is for the World of Darkness (WoD). Scion: God is not set in the WoD.

And girls who like girls who like breastplates!
