Unfortunatly only the authors and whoever buys one of the few copies at a con auction have the full plotlines. If it was a freeform I'd been involved in writing the GM pack would include a plot summary but other authors probably work differently. In the absence of a plot summary it's a matter of going though the individual character sheets for each plot. Doable, particularly with an electronic copy, but not easy.

You'd have to adapt the plots to tabletop RPG and some might not work at all.
