I am sorry if this is pre-mature but I've had my eye on Agents of Edgewatch for a 2nd ed campaign and after reading all the book previews it sounds pretty fun /accept/ for one part of book 5's preview. It mentions your players loosing agent status and getting put in prison. This is a plot point that I have had a hard time in the past as there has been on occasion quite a bit of push back from players. OOC complaints that it doesn't make sense, they were forced to 'loose when they should have won (especially at higher levels like this happening in all the way in book 5) in character stance of going out fighting etc. Anyone else have similar issues or concerns? Any tips for getting through these typs of plot points?

They don't get put in prison. They lose their agent status due to a conspiracy blackening their names and one of their NPC allies gets put in prison. The book is largely about freeing said ally (the prison break mentioned in the description).
No amount of being good in a fight saves them from having their reputations attacked, which makes sense. Especially since the person attacking said reputation is the main villain of Book 6 (ie: someone of much higher level than the PCs, and thus much better stats).
Ah, that sounds better. I have read that description many times and for some reason it always read that the players were incarcerated heh. Thanks for the clarification.
