Here are the event descriptions:
SRM Scramble 2! Mr. Johnson has put out a call to the Shadows of Denver - he needs every 'runner available to prevent all out war in the shadows. A one time only Shadowrun Missions BYOC Interactive, with unique campaign rewards. Costumes encouraged!
As with last year's SRM Scramble, this is a once run event that will not be released afterwards. GenCon Indy is your only chance to play in the interactive. Rewards have been increased relative to last year's event, both in quality and in number.

SRM02-01 Parliament of Thieves A simple smuggling job. Get the goods from the Koshari. Deliver it to the Mafia. Avoid the Yakuza, the Triads, the UCAS border patrol, and the Zone Defense Force. Just another day in the Front Range Free Zone. BYOC!
SRM02-04 Thrash the Body Electric The fewer strings attached to a job, the better. Now you'll find out if having the power in your hands will be everything you expected, or just a shortcut to electrocution. BYOC!
SRM02-09 Tunnel Vision Thousands of tunnels in a forgotten sewer system. Seven lost explorers. One survivor. BYOC!
SRM02-10 Twist and Insult Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Girl kills leader of boy's gang to promote him. Can these two survive or will they be subsumed in the violent struggle of Aurora. BYOC!
SRM02-11 Rising Sin The runners hit a casino and brothel to steal a file. Get ready to indulge in a little high-stakes gambling and spend some time in the tender care of the "employees." Just don't forget it's a job! BYOC!
SRM02-12 Winter Wonderland Mr. Johnson lost cargo high in the mountains. He wants you to go in, schmooze the snow bunnies, dare the expert runs, and watch out for snow snakes. Oh and bring the cargo back. It's not just a job it's a vacation. BYOC!
SRM02-13 Take Out Service There's a price when organizations expand and no one wants the check. Blackmail and kidnapping are acceptable ways to convince someone else to pay. BYOC!
SRM02-14 Wetwork, Pure and Simple In the shadows, if you aren't working, you aren't getting paid. When the choice is between wetwork and starvation, it isn't a choice. BYOC!
SRM02-15 Critical Care DocWagon patients are going missing. No way it could be your fault, right? Maybe you should check into it, just in case. BYOC!
SRM02-16 Primal Forces When precious resources are traveling through Denver, factions don't stay idle. When every faction wants them, the runners need to choose their allegiances. BYOC!
SRM02-17 Patient Zero An unexpected Johnson leads to a messy situation. Who's pulling whose strings? You'll need to answer that before the Yakuza lose their patience. BYOC!
SRM02-18 A Very Bad Day As a fierce storm hits Denver, new opportunities arise for the team. Of course, some days just getting to work can be an adventure. BYOC!
SRM02-19 By Any Means Necessary Deniable assets work on jobs that require out of the box solutions. When the Johnson says "by any means necessary," that just opens the door to choices and trouble. BYOC!
SRM02-20 Career Path Everybody hates their job sometimes. One poor wageslave just decided to do something about it, only now his boss wants YOU to do something about THAT. BYOC!

Just updated with the info on ticket sales, 1 day in to event registration.

We've had 11 sell outs, all of which were at events with just 1 table offered. Of our 6 events where we're offering 2 tables, we've sold out 1 table on 5 of them. At the moment, we've already sold nearly 3/4 of our available tickets. So, if you're planning on playing regular Missions games at GenCon, I'd encourage you to register soon.

The Scramble still has a fair bit of room for more players, however. This is a once run event -- GenCon Indy Only -- and we'll have some cool rewards available.

One other event, that's not Missions specific, but might interest many Shadowrunners is this one:

SEM00145 Shadowrun GM Boot Camp Here's your chance to learn how to run Shadowrun through the craziest conditions possible. New players, drunk players, belligerent players, rules lawyers… Veteran con GMs will be on hand to show you how to deal with every type of problem imaginable. If you can GM like this, you can GM anywhere. Prizes awarded.

We got this on the schedule kind of late, but we're really looking forward to offering it.

[the_dunner]

There were a couple more sell-outs today, as indicated above. 1-Shot Shadowrun events are also selling out fairly quickly.

If you're planning on attending GenCon, either register soon, or plan on showing up with a good stack of generic tickets in hand. (We'll generally try hard to squeeze in an extra player or two if we can.)

[the_dunner]

Checking the events list this morning, I was surprised to find that we're up to 18 sell outs now. There are still tickets for the Scramble and 5 other sessions. (Though, 3 of those sessions only have 1 ticket left each.)

Wow, I'm thrilled at this kind of response! :D

[Zolhex]

While I'm unable to go myself Dunner I too am please to see sellouts happening it bodes very well for the game.

Now if only I can get people to show up at my firebase to play.

[Redjack]

Hey!!
RPG01233: Find Her, Keep Her still has two openings on Friday morning for you early risers!

[the_dunner]

Just a minor update:

Missions now has 20 22 sell outs out of 23 events. There are 7 4 tickets left across the other 3 1 event.

The SRM Scramble still has tickets available. If you enjoy Missions and want to have a unique experience that you gloat about, this is definitely the event for you.

The 1-shot events have now sold out 19 of 23 events. There are 18 tickets left across the remaining 4 events. (Find Her, Keep Her, which Redjack mentioned, is now sold out.

The Tournament has just under 3 tables still unsold (out of 12).

There are still tickets available for GM Boot Camp.

[the_dunner]

Another quick update:

There are now 4 tickets left for regular Missions games. All four are for the second table of RPG01374 (Primal Forces) at noon on Friday.

There are still some tickets for the Saturday Scramble, a few tickets for the tournament, and some for boot camp. One shot events have a 91% sell through.

At this point, if you're planning on playing Shadowrun at GenCon, I'd strongly encourage you to register soon. (Alternatively, if you want to come and GM, we could still use a few volunteers. It certainly looks like we'll have an abundance of players.)

[the_dunner]

All regular Missions games are now sold out. There's still a little over 1 table of tickets left for the tournament, a handful of tickets for the 1-shot games, and a few tickets left for the Scramble and for Boot Camp.

[grendel]

Well, I guess we didn't get dressed up for nothing.

[TimberWolf]

Sadly, the only slots I have to play (Thursday afternoon and evening) were the first to sell out. Since I'm GMing the Open the rest of the con... I will miss all of these.
