 I haven't been able to find if the later books were using the original RPG they were running as source material, does anyone know?

Edit: Kind of feel like all of season 4/book 4 existed because the players just ate a poo poo-ton of bad table rolls.

getting into an argument about whether something is "hard" or "soft" scifi is the dumbest poo poo, it's all made up fairy tales

the day-to-day minutiae of it is generally believable which is more than you can say for, i dunno, the culture books

I mean, isn't hard scifi just extrapolations of things that could exist, no matter how fanciful? Like Niven's Integral Trees, vs Culture's Luxury Automated Trans-at-will Space Communism.
