The CMP books Firing Line and Sprawl Wilds are Missions-legal for all, even home-games.

However, the CMPs that are actively used on conventions are only available for agents that need them for conventions. You can't get Dragon's Song or Dangerous Games unless you're a demo team agent who needs them for a convention. So while I do have Dragon's Song and some of my players played most of it in an online convention, it wouldn't be ethical for me to use it for normal Missions games without permission from Ray.

Speaking of, it's 2014 :D

Any news on when Dragon's Song and/or Dangerous Games (or any of the adventures not released that I've collected in this post) might be released to us plebs who are unable to make it to conventions?

I don't think "love" is the reaction players have to Dragon's Song :)

Peh. Three of them played #1~#3, and I played #1 with them and GMd the other two. They hated me when they realized I had just blown up the Cyberdeck with grenades. ^_^ They lost out on an easy 40k fencing value per runner in DS2+DS3 combined.

The second fight in Tokyo Drift was a bit tricky (got really unlucky on Drain when summoning a Force 6 spirit before, so I wasn't of much use), but the rest wasn't that bad. In Jailbreak Rock we used Clairvoyance and some situational tricks to detect and deal with the guards beyond the elevator, in Berlin Waltz Detect Enemies, Extended proved very useful (we tossed 2 buffed-up spirits and some spells at the car ambush before they had a chance to hit us), and at the start of Tokyo Drift an 18-meter radius Force 12 Ball Lightning helped soften up the bounty hunters (with a plane trip to Japan ahead, I could afford the Drain).

Let's not forget the traumatized guard before the elevator that had two gunbunnies ignore the grenade he threw and just walking towards him and firing away at him, then punching him out after he dove for cover.

Tokyo Drift's bounty hunters DID almost kill one of the mages. And the fight in the tunnel almost killed the street sam.

We did Neo-Toyko the hard way--which is to say, minus all firearms.  That proved to be a challenge.  A horrific collective brain fart on the part of the party didn't help things out in the tunnels.

One of the gang bought a buncha holdouts through a japanese contact, but as decker he never used them. Another decker used their crossbow (hello 10P + 15S at the end of the CT...), the Street Sam used their katana, the mountie sent his spirit in and then got real mad when grenades were ordered so threw a massive Ball of Lightning, and the fifth character was a mage so was fine as well.

Needless to say, it turned into a massacre.

Nah, the only time I'd believe that claim, ZeConster, is Game Of Thrones...
