Question: A friend of mine played recently through a Core Special at a convention. When he told me about it, I decided to DM it during a game day soon but when I looked through the list of adventures available for download, I couldn't find it. Does this mean Core "special" can only be played at a convention?

Yes, the specials can only be played at the Extended Premire conventions.

The only Core Specials that ever become available for home play are the ones from Origins. Right now, the 2004 special, "Here There Be Dragons", is available. The 2005 special, "Mines of Father Eye", will become available as soon as they have finished editing it for home play. The Winter Fantasy and GenCon specials, however, do not become available for home play ever; you must catch them either at the convention or at the Extended Premiere.

Not to mention, these can be very tough mods. They are different than your normal cores and are scaled to be just a bit harder. We played There Be Dragons at APL 4 and had a tough time even with 2 Clerics. Had we not have had the Centaur, it could have been ugly.
