An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System
An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and strategic approach. Players leverage abilities to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

In this scenario, players lead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled closer to the campaign launch.
