Would anybody be interested in doing a Philadelphia Convention game?  What I had in mind was that each of us would play as a fictional delegate.  We would first elect a presiding officer, then establish rules, propose plans for the new government, and hopefully piece together a new Constitution.

Ideally, there would be more than one delegate for each state, but there would probably be a limit to how many players there are.  A state delegation can have just one delegate.  If nobody plays as a state, we can just assume that they didn't send delegates.  The members of a state's delegation would debate matters relating to the Convention, and propose plans together.  I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that each state would have one vote.  That would be decided on though, at the beginning of the game.

There would be no rules at this point, except for keeping with the time period, although we can have a little fun.  I would be the GM, until we elect a presiding officer.  Rules for things like behavior or expulsion of members will be decided on by vote at the beginning.

Alright, so we might as well post our profiles to keep the thread bumped, and while we're waiting for other people to join.
