Or might even be even doodling notes for the Next Age.- The PCs should eventually discover they are in the Stasima period of the current age.  This gives a sense of openness and hope that will attract IRL buyers.  (Later you can write the Apocalypsis module that feels like Dark Sun.)As noted above, list 10 Things That Make This Setting Unique.  The Script of History would be one such; so would the 'Greek mythology' atmosphere.  The 4e Dark Sun Campaign Setting had this on about page 3, if you want to take a look at an example.</blockquote>
