Can I just say how much I love that Songbirds 3e started off as a Red Giant hack!
Also, appreciate your truthfulness about how messy and organic the creative gestation process was.

Partially inspired by our conversation, I have just purchased online a copy of Sisters of the Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology.
The fact that it's still intact after 10 years is a good sign.
I should check how many of the stories I already have via other publications.
ISFDB is my friend for that sort of query (edited to link directly to paperback edition with list of stories therein):

Thank you for the detailed response, really appreciate it and it makes a lot of sense to me.
I think you and I are on the same page regards loving the pulp and wanting more depth socially.
Would love to know the name of the anthology as I will probably already have it and if I don't I should get it.
In recent years, I've made a point of collecting anthologies of classic sci-fi.
I quite enjoy reading notes about the intentions and choices of the designer, especially when the game in question wanders off the beaten path as this one does.
Would be great to see the sources of inspiration too, especially given that the alien races have quite the pulp sci-fi vibe! Speaking of sources, do I detect a hint of The Ship Who Sang in the Shiphearts?
Also I was pleasantly surprised upon seeing the following in the game text:
CASSETTE FUTURISM MEETS SOLARPUNK
That really should be on the Itch page, it would help the game find its audience.
Okay, I'm good now, I found this https://pretendo.games/2022/04/06/2400-devlog-inner-system-blues/
I'm going to print this out and stick it in my copy of A Burglar's Guide to the City.
