Event details

'The rich and powerful take what they want. We steal it back for you.'


As a con artist, you're one of the best in your field. Now, you get to be a part of the most elaborate, ludicrous scams in history to take down the the rich and ruthless. Join up with the biggest underground syndicate in the world—Leverage International—and return to the helpless what was taken from them. Because sometimes, bad guys make the best good guys.



Not sure what this is but it sure sounds interesting?


In a nutshell, this is a meetup for gamers and non-gamers alike to play the Leverage Role-Playing Game (Leverage RPG). Leverage RPG is a modern game of crooks stealing from the rich to help the poor. Expect plenty of high-octane action, stunts, and capers. It doesn't matter whether you're a newbie or seasoned veteran of role-playing games -- all are welcome!


Note that there is an entry fee of $5, to be collected on the day itself. This cover charge includes one complimentary drink.


Also note: all names, characters, organisations, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.



Scenario's Premise -- Season 1 Episode 2: The Love Scam Job


'He left us with nothing. Our family's ruined.'


A rumour has been floating in several communities about a woman who has been scamming older, married men of their lifelong savings. While love scams are aplenty, this one seems to be particularly methodical in its approach, that goes beyond the law's boundaries. Can you stop Milinda Lam before she ruins the lives of many more families?



'Do I need to bring anything?'


Sure you do! We need you to bring the following:


- Smiles and laughter

- A powerful imagination


The following are optional:


- Stationery (pencils and erasers)

- Polyhedral dice

- Knowledge of how the game is played

- An existing or pre-generated character



Organised Play rules


The Leverage RPG Organised Play Programme (AKA 'Leverage International') is a campaign that's exclusive to Swords & Stationery. It is not an official programme by its publisher, Margaret Weis Productions (MWP), nor is it endorsed by MWP. However, it is an official organised play event by Swords & Stationery. As such, just like all our other organised play events, character progression and achievements will be tracked in-house by me, Teacher Shaun.


'Organised Play' also means that players can hop in and hop out anytime within the campaign. This means you don't have to be committed to coming for every session. Even if you miss out on one session/episode, you can still join the next.


(Note: we would still prefer you to turn up after you RSVP though!)


Additionally, as the event is supposed to be newbie- and family-friendly, we urge seasoned gamers to be patient with new players and avoid bad language. These organised play events are meant to ease newcomers into the hobby, while providing a comfortable and friendly environment for all participants. Gaming is meant to be a fun hobby, and shouldn't get in the way of basic human decency.
