The necessary files to playtest it are here:
http://www.dog-eared-designs.com/g_playtest.zip
they're something that I can't effectively package without putting a big burden on the players to print out and so on.
I'm interested in playtesting this, but the zipfile seems to be gone. Is that intentional?

I'm interested in playtesting, too. However I believe Matt mentions in
http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=20944.0
that the files are down intentionally while he's working on some major revisions.

Ah. I shall patiently wait for the revised version, then.

At this point you'll most likely be checking it out as a retail product. I won't have a playtest version up again.

I have a Galactic-game already running (well, we created characters, galaxy, factions and the first adventures) and was hoping to upgrade before we really start playing. How long will it take until I can buy this fine game?

O naivete. Or maybe O hubris. Or maybe O school and moving and life.
The thing is, Galactic is ever in playtest mode, just in case anyone's wondering. And it still needs more playtesting, mostly because it just hasn't gotten much playtesting. That's sad, because it's a subset of me not having gotten much playing lately.
So, regarding that playtest mode: I'm in the middle of finishing school and moving across the country (where will I live? Roll 1d6) and finding a job and all sorts of wacky shit right now, but this is to let anyone know, anyone who's geniunely interested in playtesting, I can make a document available. I'll have some specific requests for you as a playtester if you're up for it. PM me or something.
Otherwise, keep waiting. It's looking pretty good so far.

My group will be shifting to a Galactic run just as soon as we 'clear' one of the other games currently running. That's likely to be PTA, actually, since everyone's been so rabid to play the season.

Oh well that clealy some higher will! Just as I wonder what happened to Galactica!? after reading the whole thread and I see that post. My gaming group is at your disposal in that case. The least we can do for the wonderful game that PtA is.
In short, if you plan on playtesting Galactica further, I'd like to take part in it.

Hi Matt,
I'd be happy to try your game with a group of friends and let you know the result.
I have just a question: do you think 4 players + game master are too many people or will they do fine?
Best!

I'm not Matt, but I've seen the new character sheets, which have a 'default' group maximum (you'll see what I mean) of exactly the size you're asking about, so it should be fine.

We were in the middle of planning a Galactic playtest session, when you posted that there would be no new playtest version coming, which led to our group switching to another game.
I think we'd all love to give the game a proper thorough playtest.

Es tut mir leid. Ich bin ganz schweinhundlich gewesen.
If you're really up for another try, PM me with an email address, and I'll hook you up. For real this time.
