Not really, only in the smaller details. With one group, we've been doing
a campaign for the last year and a half in which we're going through all
the FASA-published adventures in the order they appear in the SR timeline.
So far, most of them have gone unchanged except for small things that
don't really impact the adventure.

However, I do know that in Eye of the Eagle (the adventure from NAN2), I
will change it so that if the runners fail, the chemical weapon _will_ get
released and kill thousands of people. I seriously don't like the safety
net the adventure provides -- even if they fail to stop the toxic shaman,
the weapon has some flaw that prevents the cloud from being released.

Another important change to an adventure, though not one made by the GM
(not me, this time), was to take the idol from Bottled Demon with us onto
a semi-ballistic to Germany and back in order to destroy it. We cut the
adventure in half that way :)
