Leverage RPG:

Masterminds need to be flexible and think quickly. Almost no plan goes flawlessly, and the Mastermind's most important job is to deal with the hiccups and curve balls that inevitably come up. A good Mastermind knows when to rearrange resources to salvage a damaged plan—and when to come up with a new one on the fly.

Varric writing a job description:

Rook needs to be flexible and think quickly. Almost no plan goes flawlessly, and Rook's most important job is to deal with hiccups and curve balls that inevitably come up. A good team leader knows when to rearrange resources to salvage a damaged plan—and when to come up with a new one on the fly.

Does anyone have a link/pdfs they’re willing to share for the Leverage RPG books?

Nerds Who Make Nerd Jokes About Their Jobs

(Context; This is a Leverage RPG happening over Roll20; the playeres are just meeting for the first time after all recieving a mysterious note about a theft at the gallery. One of their infortmants is codenamed ‘ArtsyFartsy’. They are stood in the middle of the Art Gallery they’re ...reverse casing? Ainsley is @robin-redbreast and Raisa is @izzetengineer)  Raisa Sokolovsky: *notices Ainsley, raises an eyebrow at them.* Ainsley Thorne: *grins broadly, raises their chin slightly in greeting as they saunter over.* Ainsley Thorne: (in a low voice) I always wonder what kinda artsy fartsy people donate to galleries. Kinda interesting to look at, huh? Raisa Sokolovsky: (equally quietly, to Ainsley) It is. Though I think for some of them it is - how do you say it in English - a steal for what they get? Ainsley Thorne: *laughs quietly, nodding at Raisa.* Ainsley Thorne: Yeah it's practically - ha - you familiar with the phrase "daylight robbery"?

@beautifulscreaminglady was wondering about any interesting characterization that might come up in the ttrpg text. ngl, I don't read the color text that closely, but there's one thing in the mechanics that I think is interesting for the characters.

So when you build a character you have a stat for each of the five roles. Your highest stat is in your primary role, but your second highest stat (secondary role) is also important. And the secondary role doesn't just mean it's the thing you're next-best at. It's also supposed to inform how you do your primary role. So like, here's the text for Hackers with two different secondary roles:

Hacker/Hitter: He stomps through network defenses like a giant monster through Tokyo. Dude takes no prisoners and leaves a smoking ruin in his wake. Why use a key when you can use a hammer? Many Marks need to replace their hardware when he gets through with them.

Hacker/Grifter: It’s pretty rare that people notice his online activity, but when they do, he’s all up and messin’ with the server logs so he’s seen as a trusted peer network, an innocent wrong number, or some harmless kid—anybody but who he really is.

So I think it's pretty interesting to look at what they thought everybody's secondary roles should be....... some of these I completely agree with but some I look at very hard, tilt my head and squint, and then shrug and say "Well, this came out right after season 2, I guess they just didn't know any better."

Nate -- Grifter

Parker -- Hitter

Hardison -- Mastermind

Sophie -- Thief

Eliot -- Mastermind

Tara -- Hacker

Chaos -- Mastermind

Sterling for some reason gets TWO secondaries, Hitter and Grifter

If you're a writer I really suggest that you find a copy of the Leverage RPG rulebook, either a pdf or buying a physical copy secondhand, even if you're not into TTRPGs because the section for GMs (or the Fixer, as they call it) is basically a guide for how to write a Leverage episode.

I love the Leverage RPG core rulebook.
