[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7004232, member: 42582"] I don't know Leverage (the series) other than Google/Wikipedia telling me it's a TV show. And as I've already said I don't know the system, except for what I can extrapolate from familiarity with Marvel Heroic. But taking the concept of "hacker" at face value, maybe one of them has to get info from a source that can't easily be internet-hacked (eg an encrypted memory stick; a phone; I'm not really a tech guy so just making some stuff up here) and the other has to use that info to break into the [big job MacGuffin]. This set up means the hitter can beat the person up and take the info while the thief sneaks in and uses it; or the thief can steal/pick-pocket the info while the hitter breaks in and uses it - ie the players can make the call. (I'm assuming here that "hitter" and "thief" as game concepts overlap pretty much with their ordinary English meaning.) Another idea: the hitter/hacker has to hack into some sort of drone/robot defence-type tech (and so gets to combine tech-type stuff with violence-type stuff - given "When in Doubt, Take it Apart" maybe s/he has to rebuild the tech while controlling/shutting down its AI); while the other hacker is downloading the key info. I don't know if any of the above makes sense for [I]the [/I]game, or for [I]your [/I]game! [/QUOTE]
