A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System
A preview at the system reveals it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and tactical style. Players use abilities to assemble a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

In this scenario, players spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
