Now we start getting into mechanics and game terminology. It also makes it clear that your starting characters are not starting characters: That is, the PCs are not rookies.they are at least Very Good at what they do. This is essentially the introduction chapter, telling you about the characters in the show (mentioned above) and a bit about the tone of the world, which is Very Serious with a side of Quirky. I do agree with the concept, and find it incredibly cathartic.even though I'm not always sold on the politics of the show.but it's far from being as heavy handed as it could be. We get a one page foreword by the show's co-creator (and comic/roleplaying geek John Rogers) about the inspiration for the show.
THE LEVERAGE ROLEPLAYING GAME FULL
The book is full color and filled with photos from the first two and a half seasons, making the book appear much less dated than a lot of licensed RPGs tend to (MWP pulled off this same feat with Smallville). However, there is no index, for those of you who buy the physical book. Unlike the initial release of Smallville, Margaret Weis Productions has bookmarks in place right away, as well as searchability and copy and paste. Honestly, it sounds like it should be a lovely transfer to a roleplaying game, right? Now on it's third season (and confirmed for a fourth), the crew have hit some interesting twists and turns along the way, but the show keeps to a basic formula: A Client hires The Crew to get revenge on The Mark, complications and hilarity ensue.I say hilarity, in that the show is more of a modern day A-Team than anything else, with the Rule of Cool being the order of the day. In the pilot, he assembles the crew when he's hired for a big revenge scheme, and it all balloons up from there. Nate Ford (Hutton) was an insurance investigator who butted heads with the other four that now make up his crew, who leaves his job when his company refuses to pay for medical treatments for his son, leading to his death.
A crew of five criminals (The Mastermind, Grifter, Hacker, Hitter and Thief, wonderfully played by Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Aldis Hodge, Christian Kane and Beth Riesgraf, respectively) help the poor and downtrodden who have been screwed by The Man, and help them get revenge/restitution.
THE LEVERAGE ROLEPLAYING GAME TV
Now, the Leverage RPG is finally released.įor those who aren't aware, Leverage is a TV show on TNT that is, essentially, a "Robin Hood meets Mission Impossible" thing. The problem? It sure looked incredibly daunting to run when I was reading it. I absolutely love the TV show Leverage, and the Leverage RPG Quickstart is the only Quickstart I have ever spent money on.
