[primary author and architect of scion here] The missing features are mostly by design - this is closer to what the gastown plans as "gascity" - bring your own orchestration characters and definition.

If you look at this orchestration example

https://github.com/ptone/scion-athenaeum

its just markdown - Scion is the game engine

(a port of gastown to run on scion is in progress)

I'm glad to see other projects like this. I did switch over to using Gascity, but it does still seem to have quite a few troubles. Does scion have a beads like concept using formulas for work?
