[News] Leverage Supplements Won't Make it for GenCon

Two supplements for Leverage: The Roleplaying Game from Margaret Weis Productions have been delayed from their initial release dates and will not be able to make it for GenCon.

Line Developer and Designer Cam Banks said, in reply to a thread at RPG.net, that Leverage: Grifters and Masterminds is currently in layout before final approval while Leverage: Hitters, Hackers and Thieves is in the final editing and development phase before it goes for layout.

He said in the thread:

Since GenCon is 3 weeks away and we'd need more time than that to get the books printed, I'm afraid they won't be available there. That said, PDF sales don't require the print time, so we're doing our best to ensure they're both available for your enjoyment this summer!

According to the Margaret Weis Productions website, Grifters and Masterminds was due to be released in May 2011 while Hitters, Hackers and Thieves was due in June 2011.

Both books are priced at $29.99.

Leverage: The Roleplaying Game is based on the TNT TV series where players play as members of a dysfunctional team of con artists, criminals and crooks to protect the victims of corporations, mobsters and corrupt politicians.

The game uses the Cortex system as its foundation.

[Product] Hollowpoint

VSCA Publishing has just released Hollowpoint, a game where players are agents with dubious morals and will use dubious means to complete their mission.

Inspired by the themes from 100 Bullets, Wanted, Ronin, Heat and The Magnificent Seven, Hollowpoint is a game which models action scenes in quick and bloody repetition.

The game uses plenty of d6s in a post hoc method to interpret and narrate the actions by the characters which are fast and could lead to unexpected twist. Character death is rewarded when it leads to a major plot twist and the rules are re-skinnable as long as it meets the premise of a team of bad people being bad and awesome.

Hollowpoint is now available as a 110 page paperback for $19.95 on Lulu. A PDF version will be released shortly.

VSCA Publishing also created Diaspora: hard science fiction roleplaying with Fate which won the 2010 ENnie Awards for the Best Rule category.
