TV (It is Threat Value, you guessed correctly!) is only explained in the Game Master's section, which is absent from the preview. Sorry for any confusion that might have caused. It's a number of no use to the Player, really.

And yes, roll is just shorthand for letting you know how many dice you roll when using that Attack. As Mendou points out, it's 2 dice + any relevant Abilities like Agile or Combat Expert (But never Abilities that add to your Damage Multiplier, like Attack itself.)

In any case, never hesitate to ask a question! Always good to know what people easily gather from the rules and what trips them up. (Though in this case, I think it's just the fault of the abbreviated document.)

It does help clarify the character profile enough for me to continue. You both have my Gratitude, Clay and Mendou. Though I can't help but wonder if items, especially vehicles and Mecha, should have the TV or not.

Oh well, I guess that'll be something cleared up in the extra sections once the book comes out.

If the character can expected to almost always have this Item/Transformation in a fight, I'd factor it in.

If the character can be expected to spend equal time with and without it—a mecha pilot who also hoofs it with a blaster rifle now and again—you should calculate both totals and use the appropriate one.

Wait... WHAT?

I checked in every month since the RV edition was hinted at!

I fell off the wagon around last Christmas (finished Masters in May). So, I now have game time, log in, and I MISSED A KICKSTARTER???

BAH!

When can I order the new version???? WHEN????!!!!

I'd much rather intro my bestest group (friends for 35 years) on the new stuff =)

Plastic_Avatar: I know! I hate when you just miss out on something you would have loved to back. While I can't "officially" accept new backers, if you still want in on the Kickstarter rewards, we can arrange something through PayPal. Just email me.

Clay: I'd be on board for that (the kickstarter via proxy?) at the $30 mark if possible; would need to put money into paypal first of course... same boat as Plastic in coming late to the party :)

Sure thing! Just email me the payment at clay@wiseturtle.com, along with a note describing the Pledge you want to order. If your email you use for correspondence is different from your PayPal address, please include that as well.
