Great post. I agree with talking about your setting online. The feedback I've gotten has always been usefull to me. Often the idea of "being bold" and not overthinking it comes through.

Very well thought-out post and I agree on all accounts. I kind of did this when I tried to start my Starforged playthrough; I spent weeks perfecting everything but then, I felt like there was so much stuff in the lore and the political landscape (that I myself had created!) that I needed to take into account, it was just… too much. The world is still there but I only started the first session, lost interest halfway through and never got back to it.

Sometimes, less is more.
