It feels like it's been a pretty fast few weeks, but it's already time for our regular monthly update! Before I get to our project round up, I wanted to share two cool bits of Scion info with you today!
ONYX PATH CON PANELS
First up, as noted back in our May update, Onyx Path recently held their annual Virtual Gaming Convention about a month ago and I've got some cool Scion panels to share with you! If you've been looking for information on what's up with Scion and what projects are in the pipeline or more information about the game, these panels are for you!
First up, a big group panel where members of the Scion gang (pantheon?) discuss Scion with a focus on the tiers of play!
And then we get a look at what's ahead for Scion, with a big focus on the upcoming Scion: Mythic Shards book!
SCION: MYTHIC SHARDS
And that panel is how I segue into our big news of the day! The latest book for Scion Second Edition, Mythic Shards, will launch it's crowdfunding campaign later today!
The World never truly ends, it merely shatters. Each fragment giving birth to new possibilities, new futures within whole new realities as they fall. Every time the World is saved, it continues on in one reality while other possibilities propel forward into another tomorrow. When we sleep, our souls travel to other worlds and realms. Our imaginations touch the shards and run rampant. They are not merely dreams. These Mythic Shards are as real as the Divine Realms, and the realm we live in. All myths are true.
Scion: Mythic Shards presents alternate realities for the World of Scion and provides new rules for players and Storyguides to incorporate into their games. Each chapter explores a single shard of reality at varying tiers of Scion gameplay. These chapters are standalone from each other and don’t need to be consumed with the other chapters in order to start playing. Mythic Shards requires the use of Origin, Hero, Demigod, and God in order to play.
Scion’s setting — the World — is an exciting place where heroes are larger than life, and Fate always lurks in the shadows, pulling strings. It is a place of urban fantasy where the legends and myths of our ancestors live in a world that’s much like our own.
But, there are some tales that belong to another world — stories that need another place to breathe and come alive — places like…
After the End: A post apocalyptic desert full of peril and opportunities for new beginnings
Cyber-Scion: A cyberpunk dystopia where Scions pilot mecha to fight corporate kaiju
Farewell to Heroes: Gritty noir cities where Scions are illegal
Four Color: A place of superheroes, alter-egos, and over-the-top excitement
Space Odyssey: An entire galaxy of starships and aliens

You can find the weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>, which note any projects with status changes since the previous Month End summary. The project statuses listed are current as of last Monday, so do check it out each Monday night to see if anything may have progressed!
I will continue to post regular updates everymonth until the final reward has gone out.
