I love buying RPG books and just reading the lore (I own so many terrible versions of Star Trek RPGs for that purpose). I wonder how much lore v. rule mechanics will be in the G.I. Joe book.

While these are their own thing as deck builder games it's not really what I am looking for. I want that WOTC treatment with chase cards and using the resource management system.

I was a Thief, so I needed very high dexterity.

Even beyond the mythos, there's a question of tone. Do you lean into military realism? How far do you take the sci-fi and fantasy elements? Do you go all-in on ninja super commandoes? What about chameleonic bikers? Is there room for some hardcore Cobra-la silliness?
Personally, I hope it's a flexible system, rooted in a strong understanding of and respect for the core elements of the brand, but open to various approaches. Here's the meat and potatoes of this universe, and here are some recommended spices you can add to give it your own preferred flavor profile.
