I didn't have the opportunity to play any of these at convention and in retrospect that was probably a good thing. There are many other Con missions that are much more interesting and fun. I suppose I should have been suspicious based on the blatant hard-sell marketing for the physical copy but I didn't pick up on that. My first issue involves the 'how' premise for the Johnson here (I'm keeping this vague to avoid spoilers if you do decide to purchase it). How on earth is she financing these runs? Now it's easy enough to find a workaround but it's just the first of many that are required here. Earlier Missions were also very good at giving alternatives to combat and multiple ways of approaching things. Less so here and I hope it's not a trend for the future but I think it might be.

For a long time, Missions were the best published adventures you could get but I'm afraid that's not the case any longer...

While the premise is interesting, the general setup and difficulty curve of all runs in this compilation seems unfocused and all over the place. Furthermore, in one of the runs I had the distinct feeling of reading a badly written D&D campaign, since all it basically boiled down to was a minimum amount of legwork and then encounter after encounter the players would have no chance of knowing anything about. Either way, I cannot recommend this book to either experienced GMs (who will find it badly written and have to rewrite most of the encounters and scenes) or inexperienced GMs (who might not realize how unbeatable or laughable some of the encounters and scenes will be). To end on a positive note, the idea of the legwork tables has been done quite nicely, though the information attainable is both too little and too much.
