Yeah, this is what it's coming down to for me. I'd love to be in on it (indeed, I wrote or collaborated on some of the cited works in the call for playtesters), but I just don't have adequate free time.

That said, I'm confident Christopher's got this and it'll be just fine without me.

This is very exciting, something I have wanted for a long time. Good luck with the playtest!

Thanks! I hope it lives up to everyone's expectations. I spent a lot of time on this project to try and do it right.

:-) Thanks, Matt. I hope so.

The time frame is too short for me to commit to anything but I have the kind of background you are looking for. If you want to send me a copy on spec, PM me. I would try to give you comments. If not, I will be a buyer anyway.

I just tried sending a follow-up email to the listed email address for Roger Burton West, pt-realmmanagement@firedrake.org. I had [playtest] in the subject. I got this message:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

pt-realmmanagement@firedrake.org
Unrouteable address

I tried it again, and got the same message. Anybody know what's going on?

The playtesters for GURPS Realm Management have been chosen. If you didn't get an email you were not chosen.

Thanks for letting me know. I've had problems lately with emails getting through, so wanted to make sure it hadn't somehow been mistakenly blocked. For example, I have a story set in one of my GURPS worlds that's scheduled to be published in an anthology in February. But the accepted story almost got dropped because, while I signed and returned the contract the day I got it, my response got lost somewhere in Internet space.

To avoid confusion, I think it would be helpful if Steve Jackson Games let those who weren't chosen know, even if with a generic email. It could be something like, "We appreciate your interest in our playtest. Unfortunately, we sometimes have more applicants than we have slots to fill," etc.

Just a brief note to say that I'm excited about this project! Can't wait to see what comes out the other side...

Yeah, we need something to bridge the gap between Cities and Planets.

That's not my call. Generally, as far as I can remember for public playtests they've never done that. If you don't get a welcome message you're not in.

It actually (as of the pre-playtest draft) can cover those too. The goal is to be able to cover Game of Thrones as much as Dune. At least that's what I went into it trying to do.
