[QUOTE="Cam Banks, post: 5487434, member: 3817"] Thanks for posting this! Six players isn't as bad as it sounds. At conventions we've run the game with six seats at a table, usually by adding Tara Cole to the Crew. She's a Grifter, like Sophie, but her Secondary Role is Hacker rather than Sophie's Thief. Two Grifters also expands the range of cons you can throw into the Job, which is good. Leverage requires much less investment into long-term campaigns than Smallville, which does require that investment. We describe Leverage as full of potential for episodic "let's do a short season" campaigns, although with the experience system being what it is there's more than enough meat on the bone for longer campaigns. Rob Donoghue, my primary co-designer on the game, has run a successful one-shot from start to finish, no prep or pre-made characters, in less than three hours. It's great for conventions and for a night when you're stuck for what to play. Coming soon is an anthology of Cortex Plus hacks and mods called the Cortex Plus Hacker's Guide. This is going to be a 4.99 digest-sized electronic product with a Print-on-Demand option, perfect for iPads or e-readers. It won't be a generic rulebook, rather it's going to feature 25 articles from contributing designers that help you take the rules from Smallville or Leverage and create your own campaign.
