Thanks, Evyn.
What do you mean by, "reference Hard Times a little more stridently"?
As you observed, making it possible to play more modern SF was also a
deliberate design intent, in both meanings of the phrase, actually (more
other current literary universes as well as modern SF not as far in the
future). Actually quite a bit of effort especially in places like FF&S.
