I particularly enjoyed hearing what made Richard Rogers​ nervous about running the game. I’m glad it worked out. I feel like those of us who do larp and indie tabletop should make it easier for tabletop folks to try indie larps.

Leverage is great and easily the best heist game I’ve ever ran. A lot of other games, such as Blades in the Dark, have taken cues from it. Basically, it keeps in mind that planning, if it works, is amazingly boring. You use flashbacks and talents to do all the cool things that show how far ahead your characters were thinking. It’s smooth and quick and a great intro to Cortex Plus.
