Game Summary

We asked creators, amateurs, and professionals alike to share new mechanics, settings, and entirely new games based on our popular Cortex Plus roleplaying games: LEVERAGE, SMALLVILLE, and MARVEL HEROIC ROLEPLAYING. An army of authors contributed their own ideas to the project, which we dubbed the Cortex Plus Hacker’s Guide. Emboldened by a highly successful Kickstarter project and the investment of over a thousand backers, the Guide has blossomed into a fully featured sourcebook for all things Cortex Plus!

The Cortex Plus Hacker’s Guide gives you articles, essays, and three complete reference documents to bring action, drama, and heroic fantasy to your game table. From science fiction to school yards, from the end of time to the outskirts of imagination, the building blocks of your next Cortex Plus game are right here!

7 / 10AnSR-entertainmentsThis book gives you 3+ full roleplaying game systems all based around a "machine shop" kind of mentality. Choose one that you like, or pick pieces and parts to hack your own together. While there are not a ton of canonized examples of the more in-depth rule pieces (like Abilities and Talents), there are enough examples that you can come up with your own. Get this if you want something more than a toolkit RPG and like to hack games together to tell the stories you want.
