Description:
"We live right now in a nation whose
President is the son of a President and the
grandson of a Senator, who defeated a former
Vice President, himself the son and grandson of
Senators, in an election in part decided by a
Supreme Court Justice appointed by the winner's
father. Such a world of self-perpetuating political
power is not that far off really, from Azzarello's
vision of the thirteen families of the Trust...."
- Crime writer Bill Savage, from his
introduction to 100 Bullets Volume IV
Here's the truth about America.
A Pilgrim fell overboard during the
Mayflower's voyage to the newly colonized land.
His shipmates threw him a line and brought him back
aboard. Despite his early misadventure, the man
prospered, growing fat and comfortable in his new
country. In time, the Pilgrim died of old age, but not
before founding a quiet dynasty of power and
privilege. President Roosevelt was one of the
pilgrim's descendants; so was Eisenhower; so was
Nelson Rockefeller, so are both Bushes and the
whole of their corrupt pseudo-Texan clan.
Here's the truth about America.
America has a caste system every bit as
stratified, codified and steel-strong as anything found
in pre-colonial India. You know it when MSNBC
runs a puff piece on Barak Obama's genealogy and
reveals out he's distantly related to Dick Cheney.
You know it when Hollywood starlets are released from jail
with but a slap on the wrist. You know it every time you
search the couch for pennies and dimes to fill up the tank
of your eight year old Toyota.
America has a caste system.
You are on the bottom.
If you're very lucky, you're one or two
rungs up the ladder, at least near the top...of the
bottom tier. The Scion of the Pilgrim is at the top.
The real top of the ladder, higher than most Presidents
ever climb.
Scions are the descendants of the Pilgrim
and his kind; their families have ruled America since
before the Mayflower Compact was penned.
No one elected these Scions; wealth and privilege
and quiet authority has never needed the approval of
the masses to legitimize it. Some Scions have the
kind of names you'd recognize from CNN and E Entertainment;
some don't, ruling quietly and majestically.
This new Advanced Class from Otherverse Games gives you all
the tools you need to run a Scion of the Pilgrim in your campaign.
