From Tumblr:



Sounds like the full production run is in transit and that some "early" copies are in hand...guessing anyone who goes to Origins might be able to snag a copy.

@Sterling - personal attacks are not cool. Post removed and under review.

@adzling - let's keep the posts pertinent to the topic.

You're absolutely correct, that was wrong of me and I apologise unreservedly to both you and adzling.

I'm sorry.

No worries Sterling, sometimes I deserve it.
In the future if I piss you off to such a degree just PM me, I promise not to report you for cursing me out in private ;-)

Push your luck games are similar to say double or nothing.  You can take what you currently have and go, or you can let it ride and try for more.

What is a push your luck dice game?

Black Jack is a push your luck game. You consider the odds of moving forward or holding your ground. With SR Encounters you look at the dice remaining on your dice pool and decide if you can roll higher than the next mission or end the run.

Well you got my interest, is this going to be a co-op or competitive game?

It seams to be player vs deck. If you chose to end a run the next player can choose to punk up where you left off or start a new run. Toy don't truly interact with the other players except to compare points. There is a play through video on the Dice Tower network. The playthrough starts at about 7:00
