So, I have several ideas for Ages, ranging from hyper-complex to very simple, and plans for my Pahts shell when Aloys gets to it (with all the requests that have gathered since he last sent them out, I guess he's working through in order, and I'm pretty late in the list).
What's the best starting point for a first Age attempt? Simple, self-contained, or Pahts shell, or throwaway to experiment with, or something else entirely?
I need to go work my way through Jennifer's lessons anyway, but some idea what to start with would help

Blame my hyperactive mind!
