Thanks Bull! Two follow-up questions.
1. When you say SRM 5A-01 will coincide with SR5's release, do you mean the PDF release or the book release?
2. I'm sorry (I'm a newbie), what are "CMP convention exclusive missions"? And are we able to use these missions to "level up" our SRM Season 5 characters?
Thanks so much!

1. PDF release. So July 11th.
2. All good. Each year we do 8 adventures that have the CMP label. There are 4 labels: SRM (Season Missions), CMP (COnvention Missions), SMH (Special Release Missions), and PM (Prime Missions), though the SMH missions have been very limited and Primes are set to debut soon. The upcoming Missions FAQ will have more information about each of these.
Short answer though is that Convention Missions are "Season Neutral", so they can be played in any season that they fit into rules-wise. So
Elven Blood, our first CMP compilation, would not work for Season 5 since it's SR4 rules only, but the upcoming Sprawl Wilds would work for Season 2, 3, 4, (all SR4) or 5 (SR5). They can be played as a short campaign to get your feet wet (They mostly take place in or near Seattle), or spaced out between Season 5 Missions to break up that campaign some (or act as filler while you're waiting for more Missions).
