* EDIT: Or not. This is another "never mind" post (I'm getting good at that 
). Turns out "Leverage" isn't a Reality TV show at all, more of a freelance corporate spy drama thing I see, so an RPG based on it makes much more sense. Ignore the blather of the original post about Reality TV 
Not sure where I had the idea that Leverage was a Reality TV show, or I had it confused with another show, I had it pegged as some "Apprentice" ripoff.
...that a hit (I suppose - never watched it) reality TV show would become a RPG. I just never thought it would be MWP behind it. Then again I may have missed some other similar games...
..."Iron Chef - Death Match" Now you can role-play your culinary expertise and if the competition proves too hard to beat with your best recipe use the tools of the trade to take them out! Attack with a carving knife, defend with a pot lid. Coming soon, "Common Kitchen Poisons and Explosives" expansion for meals to die for.
Anyway, back to the real RPG...
Leverage - The Quickstart Job
This is a demo version of the full game due in June. The price is right. Might be worth the $2 for a taste of the game. But I so despise reality TV. And who would I play with? Well, there are the family and friends who like reality TV but think RPGs are weird. Maybe this could sucker them into other RPGs :devil:
I'll have to ponder on this and get back to you with a review if I go for it. If somebody else does before me do let us know back here somewhere what it's like, ok?
