Time to pack out, check your ammo supplies, and brush up on your spell forumlae, because a whole bunch of runs were just released! First, we have the newest Mission, SRM 04-10: Romero and Juliette (Battleshop, DriveThruRPG):
Blood and Vengeance
A missing shadowrunner. An artifact with mysterious, blood-fed powers. And astral beings with horrible grudges. All of these elements—and more—are coming together to give shadowrunners a long day and a longer night, as they move from trying to find what has been lost to struggling for their survival. And with what they’re up against, survival would be a very notable accomplishment.
Whether you have played previous Missions in Season Four or are just now diving into this plotline, SRM 04-10: Romero and Juliette provides a test for any group of shadowrunners while also increasing the intensity of the hunt for artifacts in Seattle. This one will give runners a story to tell over the next round of drinks, as long as they an stay alive long enough to buy one.
SRM 04-10: Romero and Juliette is for use with Shadowrun, Twentieth Anniversary Edition.
Second, we’re happy to announce the release of Elven Blood (Battleshop, DriveThruRPG), a collection of five convention Missions released to the public for the first time. All of them are tied to Tir Tairngire, making it a great companion piece to Land of Promise. Bonus points to anyone who notices the deliberate oddity in the cover art! Here are the details of the book:
Blood Will Out
Shadowrunners have a lot of rules, and each and every one of them can be overruled by the proper amount of nuyen. So when shadowrunners talk about “never trusting an elf,” that’s more of a bargaining position than anything else.
Luckily for them, some elves have plenty of scratch they can use as a persuasive tool. And for the tasks they have in front of them, they’re going to need it. There’s money waiting for runners if they’re willing to venture into elven territory and take on a host of odd jobs. Jobs like: Tracking down reagents from cranky critters. Messing around in the affairs of Tír royalty. Dealing with a number of different punks and thugs, none of whom like you. And intervening in a leadership challenge of the most powerful elven street gang there is.
Elven Blood is a compilation of five different Missions that have been written to premiere at summer conventions. They can, however, be played by anyone. Whether you’re playing at a con, in a game store, or in the comfort of your own home, Elven Blood has an adventure for you. Taking you from the mean streets of Seattle to the wild lands of Tír Tairngire, Elven Blood offers exciting and inventive adventures for all Shadowrun fans.
Elven Blood is for use with Shadowrun, Twentieth Anniversary Edition.

So what’s the oddity? A human wearing an Ancients symbol or the fact there is an old 20th century neon Open sign?
I think I see pointed ears… though it’s hard to tell with such a small cover shot.
So, is Elven Blood PDF-only or also a real book?
PDF only at the moment. We had some print-on-demand copies we sold at conventions, and we’ll be mulling a full print run.
You’ll let us know here in a blog post, I trust.
Indeed!
I cannot find the PDF ebook on battlecorps. Will it be added soon?

Awesome!
I had a quick look at a friend’s copy of Elven Blood. You guys got Dan Smith to do some of the artwork? Fantastic! I knew him a while back, when he, I & a few others were part of a SR fanzine called Scrawls from the Sprawls. Does he have a website?
The only problem I have is now I want to tead the Humanitarian Aid prequel. Any plans to publish that?
We’re looking at different packages for CMPs, so we’ll see what comes out when!
