I basically have to create most of my setup to feel comfortable enough to put it out there for people to play. If not I might not have thought of everything and the game might be broken, or the game just doesn't seem fun, etc.
But you don't have to reveal your setup in its entirety, you just give the people A general idea of the game or theme and see if people appear to want to play it/ are excited by it. You can make any changes and tweaks and finish your setup anytime after.

You can make any changes and tweaks and finish your setup anytime after. I know what you're saying but I've had game ideas I thought were good, but after spending some time on them I realize they actually weren't, so I didn't put them on the queue. I guess I could just put out the idea and if there's interest, work on it, but if the idea actually sucks, just cancel it. Eh, sure that could work. I guess I don't like cancelling games, so that's why I'm hesitant.
Yeah I suppose it's different for you because you've been burned that way before. Well in any case you'll always have my support buddy---I love pretty much all large themed games
