Obviously. Replace Drek with Shit and Frag with Fuck, and Shadowrun would
have never been sold in most bookstores on that reason alone.
And I can understand that. FASA has to make money, so if they have to tone
down the aspects that would have been 'questionable' to the normal public.
I think most gamers have a higher tolerance for things such as that, however..
Although I have met a few people online who get offended when I use 'fuck'
during a game..
