Regarding Diaspora: World building in the first session is broad brush-strokes only. It is simple and should be fun. It takes about five minutes to create a world. To create the 8 or so solar systems in a cluster should take about an hour (two hours allowing for smokes and talking shite).<br>
Here's a solar system I created earlier<br>
<br>
JAVA.<br>
Tech -2 Industrialisation<br>
Environ +1 One garden world several hostile worlds<br>
Resources -1 Almost viable<br>
<br>
Aspects<br>
The Age of Sail<br>
Damn Dinosaurs!<br>
Trades spices for metals<br>
<br>
A fine candidate for terraforming, why the ancients screwed it up with dinosaurs is anyones guess. Theory is the local humans are descended from a stranded science team who fell back the the stone age but now have sailing ships and cities. Away from the coast the azure blue sky of Java is oft obscured by the fronds of the humid jungles. Compared to more advanced worlds life on Java is dirty and short, good medicine is rare and beyond the cities carnosaurs are a problem. The Javan's trade spices for metals and can do nothing to stop outsiders mining the hostile worlds in the system.<br>
<br>
And that's it the world of Java is ready for play.<br>
