The rich and powerful, they take what they want. You steal it back. You and your Crew used to be the bad guys, but there are worse people out there. The weak and the helpless need you. You provide... leverage.
Based on TNT’s hit show, The LEVERAGE Role Playing Game puts you in the middle of a dysfunctional but highly specialized group of con artists, criminals, and crooks who are trying to turn over a new leaf. You protect the victims of corporations, mobsters, and corrupt politicians by using your expert skills to outwit and overcome the real bad guys.
Using the award-winning Cortex System as its foundation, LEVERAGE: The Roleplaying Game includes all the rules you need to create a high-voltage team of rogues, plan the perfect job, and get it done... even if it means going to Plan B. This game requires a set of gaming dice available from any hobby or game store. Earbuds and really big HDTVs are cool, but not required.

quinchris (Thursday, 09 December 2010)
Rating:
This is a great game, easy to play and easy to run. The production values of the book are first rate. The way the authors use the various innovative
game mechanics to evoke the way a long con plays out in the various movie or television depictions is very clever. rnrnIf you are looking for a game
that is not focused on combat and yet is still exciting and dramatic then I recommend Leverage RPG
Leviatham (Saturday, 20 November 2010)
Rating:
The Leverage RPG is the latest licensed game from Margaret Weiss productions using a variant of their Cortex Plus rules. It is based on the hit TNT TV
series about a group of (slightly) reformed criminals, who take down untouchable and truly villainous targets.rnrnThe layout of the finished rulebook
is outstanding; it’s slick, clean, and very readable. The illustrations, all stills taken from the series, add to the crisp atmosphere of the
presentation. The text is written in a breezy style, addressing the reader directly – and it includes asides that put the reader directly into the
mindset of the crusading anti-heroes that are the game’s focus.rnrnThe Leverage version of Cortex Plus is closer to ‘original Cortex’ than the
version found in the Smallville RPG, tuned to be a sleek and efficient engine for running teams of ultra-competent characters who seldom fail at tasks
– but who often find themselves in complicated trouble. In Leverage, Characters have the customary Cortex primary Attributes; Agility, Alertness,
Intelligence, Strength, Vitality, and Willpower, plus ratings in each of the Roles needed for a ‘Leverage’ Crew; Hacker, Hitter, Grifter, Thief,
and Mastermind. Like other Cortex games, these are rated by die-type. A character’s primary Role in the Crew is rated as a d10; their secondary role
is rated as a d8. Their other roles will get a d6 or a d4, depending upon player preference and the outcome of the Recruitment Job. Characters also
get Specialties, Distinctions and Talents – Specialties represent focused training in a particular skill, Distinctions are descriptive terms similar
in many ways to FATE Aspects, and Talents are unique ‘rule breaking’ abilities which function much like D&D Feats (but with much more
evocative and entertaining names).rnrnThe full review is much more detailed and complete, but we don't have enough space in here to write it all. To
