Not at all less dramatic. Drama is proportional to scale. If the story is about one person's path throught the minefield's of belief, then that's plenty dramatic.
In any case, I think you have the perfect idea here, let it all develop in play. See what turns out to be interesting to play out. Again, I do think that the whole "going native" phenomenon is really interesting.
Oh, and Rory, yeah, what you said, years and years. If I were running Jane's game, the Saga system would come out between each adventure to progress everyone in the long term towards whereever they're going. Their colony could get finished, grow, and eventually their grandchildren would tell their grandchildren about the heroes that founded the colony. Way cool.
You guys don't play by IRC or anything, do ya? I want in!
