I wasn't the subplot so much as it was the bar scene; I'm guessing
that other older modules will probably have something along these
lines as well. I mean orks "itching for a fight with some soft
humans?" The troll bouncer who "doesn't care so much that some humans
got wasted?" I mean, I understand that this is the beginning of the
SR universe (starting in 2045, right?), but doesn't that dehumanize
orks and trolls just a bit?

OTOH, this WAS First Edition...
