Hi all,

In the next few weeks I will be offering a new playtest.  It will be for vets and newbies.  I think I possibly could run maybe one slab myself but not be crazy like some of you and do multiple!  But anyway I am judging interest in this and wanted to see what era you may be interested in playing.  Also the tags above are people I know but of course it is open to all!

1. Era of Republicanism, 1800-1802

2. Era of Democracy, 1820-1822

3. Era of Manifest Destiny, 1840-1842

4. Era of the Gilded Age, 1868-1870

5. Era of Progressivism, 1892-1894

6. Era of Normalcy, 1916-1918

7. Era of Neocons, 1972-1974

I feel like the Progressive Era is one of the few eras we haven't play tested. I'd vote for a Era of Progressivism playtest. Of course, starting in Reconstruction would be interesting.

I'm always happy to join. I think that Manifest Destiny or Gilded Age would be fun. I think that those eras are less tested other than the ongoing Manifest Destiny playtest, and their Civil War was rather brief thanks to the great Francis Granger.

I see you have edited me into the header. I fear I must decline as I am already running up against the limits of my time commitments I can make.

Sad.  Well I did not want you to feel left out

Interested and available provided you're not starting next week, I'm not sure how long it takes to set these up. Gilded Age, Progressivism, and Neocon eras probably appeal the most.

Would there be any interest in practicing players controlling multiple factions to playtest our ability to control multiple factions in the actual game?

I dont mind provided we have spaces and your not doing 2 reds or 2 blues

I would be up for joining one but I would need to be approved first.

You meet all requirements?  Once I get ready to go, in a week or so, I will start the process of sending anyone who needs to be approved up to V

Just wanted to check. Who that has expressed interest has never done a playtest?  

Also I am leaning toward gilded age just to make it easier come elections as I would only have to run house and gov every 2 years as senate would be appointed

Is the guilded age only 2 years?

No it starts in 1868 and we move on from there like all it gives a starting date of two years.  I will start right after Grant was elected with the people in place historically that were in cabinet or elsewhere under andrew johnson allowing whoever gets grant to make appointments
