I'm about to dive in!

The very same amount of dice I pre-ordered!

I suddenly feel very insecure about my own dice bag... which is only going to be filled with 4 packs! ; )

I think you need more dice.

I have backup

I’ve started with two dice packs...

That's true... I do have 5 of the SW Packs!

...if only my OCD would let them both be on the table at the same time! ; )

I doubt I'll mix. I like 2-4 players. So that's why I have 5 sets. 4 for players and 1 set for me/GM.

Could you provide a pic of the talent pyramid, kind sir?

I was thinking of keeping the SW for myself as GM... but as I always roll out in the open, I think it might throw the Players off if "my dice" and "their dice" look different.

I'm all for discussion and answering questions about the book, but I'll leave posting pictures from the book to the Fantasy Flight crew.

From what I gather there is no set "Pyramid" for talents...just a list of all the talents in the different tiers (1-5).

And the Pyramid comes from how you build out your talents to get to higher levels. Having the restriction that you always have to have +1 talents in the next lower level than you top tier acquired.

So in order to get a Tier 2 talent, you have to have 2 tier 1 talents. And to get a Tier 3 talent, you have to have 2 tier 2 talents, and by extension 3 tier 1 talents.....etc.

...but I could be wrong.

What are your impressions of the "Monster/Adversary/Bad Guys" section that let you come up with what you are going to throw at your good guys? Is it fleshed out enough to allow us to make our own tailored Monster Manuals?

How would you feel about describing a few talents and their costs?

@TheSourceHD is living up to his screen name!

lol, I've made a Youtube page called The GM Source that I will be working on once I've finished the book.

Some of them are straight from FFG Star Wars. Know Somebody is a Tier 1 talent. Popular talents like Dedication are Tier 5 Talents. Tier 1 talents are 5XP. Tier 5 cost 25XP.

Really? I just called a big store in Champlin and they were unaware of the release, or even of the system's existence. It is on their radar now....

My store is either The Source in Roseville or The Gamer's Den in Cambridge. Both are going to be well stocked. Sometimes we need to educate these stores as to what we want and or like. Glad you got them on the radar!

Ooh. I work in East Bethel. Maybe I will be running up to Cambridge at lunch time.....

Thanks for the info!

How are Characteristics increased? With highest tier talents as in SWPRGs? Or a different way? Thx.

Oh, I didn't see that. Thanks, Grimmerling!

My order is still in the waiting for release status on Miniature Market.

Gameslore UK are saying next week (unfortunately), though I have no idea if they actually have the book & dice in stock and holding them or simply have not got them yet.

I'd assume the latter.

In the meantime, come on FFG, give us the PDF

Don't feel rushed, though; tomorrow will suffice.

Well, it's almost tomorrow in some places. Not where I am, but should it really matter

They’ve updated their website to say 5th December, which sounds soon enough and specific enough to be based on solid expectation. Previously it said Oct-17
