The quickstart is coming along nicely. There are two major parts left: more detail about the setting, and a description of the technology levels.
For the setting, I'm considering taking a reduced set of civilizations and paring them down to a few paragraphs of essential information each. (I'm working with a self-imposed 32-page limit.) I'm having trouble deciding which civilizations, because of course I love all my babies. Cargo cults are a must-have, but beyond that I'm not sure who to include in the sampler pack.
They need to be civilizations that really say something about the setting, a "core set" that tells readers what's going on. My current thought is the Masquerade, the Union, the Logicians, and the Mechanicans. What say you all?
