I just watched #Wonka, and now I really want to make him a slightly unhinged chaotic Scion character. The hat and cane are clearly relics.

Late to the party, but a mythology-themed series of books I really enjoy is the #Scion #ttrpg line.

This setting takes place in a variant of the modern world - but the faiths of old have never gone away completely. And while the Gods have some excellent reasons to be discreet when acting in the world, the activities of the supernatural are still common enough if you know where to find them.

The default assumption is that the player characters are young descendants of the gods - the titular Scions - who gradually become aware of their heritage, and then try to fulfill their destiny.

I am currently running a Scion campaign that is heavily inspired by German folklore, and it's a lot of fun!
