Historical is close enough.

Okay, you asked for this link to another game
Thrilling Tales, "Curse of the Jade Monkey"

I've been wanting to play something like Scion, Percy Jackson, etc.  I'm wondering how doable that is with Savage Worlds because I don't really like White Wolf's mechanics for Scion.  Has anyone tried this, perhaps using the Supers rules or the Fantasy rules?

I don't remember the name of the product, but someone has done a savage worlds setting where you play a demigod.  I'd think that would be easy enough to adapt to a contemporary setting.

Yeah, it is mainly the powers that I'd have to think about.  Supers could work but they are pretty focused on combat so I'd need to borrow or create non-combat stuff that people could take for supernatural gifts.

I'll look for the demigod product, thanks for suggesting it.

Shaintair is the setting you are thinking of. You basically start with a character at Legendary and move up from there.

I'm pretty sure with Shaintar you start at novice.

You might be thinking of Suzerain.  I've not played it or read the rules, but I've read that it has levels above Legendary.

I think the one Willis mentioned is Mythos

I don't know about Scion, but Percy Jackson could be done with standard rules.  Just make an AB for each godly parent.

It's more Percy Jackson, or a setting like that than Scion specifically.  I just like the idea of doing supernatural stuff in a modern setting with demigods.  Either normal people with magic items or using supers rules to give them special powers if we wanted something closer to scion.

Ah, yes. Suzerain was it (I got similar names mixed up. Mea culpa.). Interesting idea, and have some good setting/adventures too.

I think AB<specific diety> would do the trick, possibly with some edges as well.

AB?

Arcane Background

Arcane Background

That's not the one I was thinking of either.  Been looking to try to find it.

Arcane Background could work.  Each power is either an innate gift and you can only do it so much before burning out, or its a magic item you use.  It also means not learning any additional rules, which makes me happy.

I'll just have to invent powers not covered, I want to be sure that non-combative ones are an option and not just hurling lightning, fire, and stuff.

Anyone up for running a Weird Wars: Rome game?

You mean a Weird Wars game done in Roman times or a Weird Wars game set in Rome during WW2?

They just released Weird Wars: Rome.  It's Roman times.

Have Weird Wars Nd am reading through it as time permits. I'd like to get into a game using it.

I've decided that I'll give running a game another shot, probably in the new year.

If work/life get's busy, I might have to put it on hold, but then I'll try to pick it up again.

So the question is, what setting?  I own:

Kaiser's Gate
Weird War Rome
Fifty Fathoms (the original version)
Temporal Probability Agency
High Space

and that's roughly my order of preference.  but the difference between KG and HS is only a few points, I'd run them all or I wouldn't have listed them.

I'd be up for one of the first three. No particular order of preference, but I have a fire mage ready to go for 50F.
