I know the cards are a great part of the game, but some people are turned off by it, and I really want to get them into TTB. Does anyone have an idea of how we can convert to dice for at least TTB?  I was thinking just 2 d6, with critical 1s being black joker and critical 6s being red.  We could use some tokens for card suits.  

Does anyone have an idea or have you seen a idea about that?  Could it work similarly?

Do we know when ttb 2e is actually being released?  I can't seem to find anything.  And how do i get involved with the Feb 13th 'A Stich in Time'?
