I know Morpheus probably isnt legend 12, but one of my players recently read sandman and is really excited about making a scion of Morpheus. Do you have any suggestions for his powers?
For associateds Id definitly give him illusion. Then either manipulation, for controlling peoples dreams and such, or perception, if we assume he can see through all peoples dreams and see into peoples minds who are dreaming.
We lovvvveeeee Sandman here. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Im probably gonna read it all again because of this post. We rarely see people willing to take the associated hit by having a parent below legend 12, but if your player wants to do it, I always think its way awesome, especially for the lord of dreams. Keep us updated.

Considering American Gods was the inspiration for Scion I'd certainly hope Gaiman inspires many! One can pick literally anything he's written and it would be rife with potential to use in a game
ReplyDelete♥ Gaiman.
Delete"Neil Gaiman" in title
ReplyDeleteFirst person to respond is Glenn
Not surprised.
Any recommendation for Associated Abilities?
ReplyDeleteHmm. Art and Empathy, for sure, and probably Occult. Awareness, Academics and Politics might round him out well, or maybe Presence or Medicine.
DeleteTo be fair, I'd love to see Morpheus as a playable (Legend 10? 11?) God. More dudes with diverse purviews are always awesome.
ReplyDeleteStill gunning for the great "stat the Legend 10-11 Gods" project. Probably my favorite project idea, even more than the Japanese!
I love that project-of-the-future, too. Someday!
DeleteOne thing I notice is that (understandably) the chief Gods usually have the same general purviews. Sky. Fertility. Justice. Sun. Death. (Surprisingly few with Health.) There was a blog post earlier about the ranking of purviews on a cosmic scale.
DeleteI think one of the benefits of the "other Gods" system is that, in addition to kicking down the April Fools' thing, we'd get to see more diverse purviews - like Illusion and Frost - get some representation.
