One of my favs, except I lost my human physad in the final assault.
The major female nasty and I were duking it out, and she was just a box away
from becoming "Unconscious, possibly dead" when she used her compulsion
power to make a teammate shoot me in the back with his gun. My character
died. Major bummage.

Mercurial was fun, especially when I got to use Max Foley to annoy them.
My only beef was the part with the ambush where the enemy suddenly breaks
in without setting off any alarms, etc, the party may set up. I fixed this
by moving the ambush up to when half the party left to get security equipment
at Radio Shanty.

I kinda enjoyed Dragon Hunt, but my players were majorly pissed. Their
characters promptly went out and trashed the dragon's, Coinspinner's and
their corporation's rep on the street for hiring runners.

Total Eclipse was a good idea but I had to do some major rewriting to make
it work.
