I know there were at least two!

I would have liked to see them include Amerindian Totems (ala Shadowrun), and the Celtic Deities, myself, but, as you said, they can always do another expansion!

All the WoD games had a 'Resource' stat (kind of weak, but slightly better than nothing), and Adventure had an option called "Wealth Beyond Avarice" for those who wish to portray the Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne of the 1920s... :->

If there is an 'old-fashioned way' of accumulating Wealth in the game, so much the better...
There are details on Aesir and Vanir in the Scion book; they look at the old Norse myths of the conflict between these two as part of the schism between new gods (the sires of the scions) and old (the titans and their spawn).

From what I understand, there are three books total in this line, all being released this summer: Hero, Demigod, and God. Each book will expand the power level/campaign are and include the progressing storyline that is featured in the scenarios provided. I've read that the upcoming books, most especially the third one, will include lots of detail on the minor or less frequently seen pantheons, which are all existant in the Scion universe, but not necessarily as prolific in making scions (as Hero explains, some deities are just not all that keen on getting it on with mortals, so the pantheons that do have a love of interacting with their mortal followers are more noticeable in the Scion universe.)
