Looking for Testors for DSA

We are needing to test he game mechanics for space and moon
habitats, including initial setup, supplies, and balance issues.
Please post in response or email myself or Ken for details.

To add what Chad stated, why we need to do this is that I always
intended DSA to be the doorway to BTS!
To further that goal, and with Chad working hard on the GM
proggie, I felt we needed to test the rules.
What I intend is that once the players reach a certain milestone
in DSA they would have the option to convert their game to BTS!
Cheers, Thor

So to am I.
Ken, do you want to setup some sheets?
We should be able to use preexisting sheets and simply add
research and resources to them.

Yeah, that is what I am thinking too. I will try to get some
sheets set up in a day or two.
Rag, I apologize for not replying before now. I just saw your
reply.
Ok, pick your agency and nation. I call dibs on NASA! ;D
Since you both have played before, give me some inpit as to what
you think your budgets should be.
The setting is that all have landed on the moon and now is the
time to set up settlements in orbit, on the moon and on Mars.
Cheers, Thor

assuming 20 years down the road, the resources should be around
3 to 4 times the beginning resources for the game.
I am basing this off of what I consider to be minimal gains that
we would get on an average play through.
figure 10 a year per year for 5 years. 15 a year for 5 years. 20
a year for 5 years. and 25 a year for five years. A real play
through will give a good deal of leeway on this, likely upwards.
If you want to do some really crazy math then leverage +5 points
a year. So 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.
We could do merely ten or fifteen years out?

Your math looks good. I am thinking around 1975 for game start.
That would allow for the NASA landing in 69, and then others to
land. This also would allow for some improvement of the base
tech levels.

spend points for tech then?
How would you want to do that?

No, I am gonna give a set budget and set a level of tech already
known. Just like a beginning game.

I’ll start with the The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial
Research Organisation CSIRO .... we do have an Australian Space
Agency but that doesn’t get formed until 2017 ... the CSIRO use
to handle all the deep space tracking so that would probably be
the most realistic embryo of a credible space program
