Because I know a few people have been waiting for these for a while, the second of our CMP compilations (The first was Elven Blood) will hopefully be available at Origins as a limited run print book. It will also be released as a PDF probably shortly after the convention. Sprawl Wilds collects the first four 2010 Convention adventures: Ashes, Carbon Copy (Which is sorta new, in that's it's actually a sequel to Copycat Killer), Manhunt, and Humanitarian Aid (The prequel adventure to SRM 04-08 Reomero & Juliette).
I'm not certain of the price point yet, and depending on sales (and whether or not they make the show at all) there may be some available at Gen Con as well. Oh, and they're Dual-Statted for both SR4 and SR5. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Bull |

I want... but attending Origins and/or Gen Con is just a no go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
I hope you have way to many, and end up selling them either through my FLGS or through Battleshop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE (Larsine @ Jun 10 2013, 07:50 AM) I thought that SRM04-05: On a Silver Platter was the sequel to CMP2010-02: Copycat Killer, or it that information wrong? Lars It is. This is... Another sequel, going in another direction. It's an interesting idea. Even though the adventures aren't really connected, it was decided to keep the first four 2010 CMPs together. However, since Copycat Killer had already been released, we had to do something different so that folks didn't feel like they buying an adventure they already got (EVen if they got it for free the first time). So Rob McKittrick took the original adventure and did a massive revamp of it. There's still a similar underlying structure to the adventure, but it's also completely different in many ways so that even if you played the original, it's worth playing this one. Moreso, actually, since it does directly follow up on that one (Just a couple years later). It also ties it into one of the new SR5 plots we have going on, in a very loose way. (And yes, that was intentionally vague and cryptic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). I will say this. I'm really, really nervous to see what sort of game feedback and results we get from this, but there is a potential outcome that, well, makes me nervous.

Since these missions are duel-statted, does that mean they are Kosher for either season 4 or season 5 missions play?

I'm hip deep in plotting out and editing and assigning writers and etc for 15 new missions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Plus con prepping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And yes, they're kosher for Season 4 play if you want to extend your Season 4 adventures. |

Just as a heads up... I believe the PDF should be getting posted sometime in the near future, but don't have an exact date.
However! I found out that this isn't just a convention exclusive. It will be shipping to game stores! So woohoo! |

But you should be able to use a PDF credit on it, assuming you have some stockpiled like most CDT agents (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Been trying to snag a copy of Humanitarian Aid before I get around to running Romero and Juliette to close out Y4 missions in the Chicago area... Be nice to be able to torture my con's players with it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Thanks! ~Jason I'm not Bull, but I can confirm Bull has answered yes elsewhere. That was a big part of why they got statted for SR5. Our group will be playing the first mission tomorrow night. Characters are ready to go. |

I should probably apologize in advance for the newbie question, but I'm not sure how this book fits into the Missions framework.
As I understand it, each "season" has 20 or so chapters (4-hour chunks). Is Sprawl Wilds a compilation of some of those chunks? All of those chunks? Why wouldn't I just go download the season 4 pdf's (unless they aren't available anymore)? I haven't played Shadowrun Missions at all, and am wondering how this all fits. |

Sprawl Wilds is a collection of 4 convention-only Missions that are otherwise unavailable for regular purchase or download.
Convention Mission Packs (CMP) are more or less standalone from Season 4, and have mostly independant storylines that often take the runners all over the world. In this specifc case, though, the four Missions collected are set in the Sprawl. -k |

Pretty much what Karma said.
The CMP adventures are "Side Quests" or side stories your character can get involved with. It's like an episode of, say, Buffy where an episode is just about going off and killing/beating/stopping some Monster of the Week, and isn't tied to the core plotline. Bull |

Also, the early ones were pretty stand-alone. Though one of the Sprawl Wilds adventures does serve as a sequel to a Season 4 Mission (SRM 04-05: On a Silver Platter).
Later ones started to run in short 4-mission "themes". The Elven Blood compilation, for example, is all set in the Tir. There's a set of adventures set in London that we ran last year. This year we have the Dragon's Song series, which is actually a cohesive mini-plot, and Dangerous Games, which are one-shots set in Cal Free. |

One thing Sprawl Wilds has done for me is wish that season 4 could be statted for SR5. I love the Seattle setting, and I'm just not sure playing in Chicago will be the same. (Of course, none of the convention missions have anything to do with Chicago anyway it sounds like. Looking forward to seeing dangerous games part 1 at GenCon.) |

So as I understand it, the adventures in Sprawl Wilds are only legal for SR4 Missions play and NOT SR5 Missions?

Either or, since they're statted for both.
