LFP to Help Playtest a New d20 Game

Edited 1498087416
I'm looking for about three players to help me playtest a game I've been making for the better half of the last decade, Atlas Spire. EDIT: Forgot to list our time and day because I'm a doof. Saturdays at 8:30 EST, I don't know what our "usual" length is, it hasn't been discussed and we're only going into session #3, but I don't intend to keep anyone playing past midnight. So at most, three hours, thirty minutes. The game is new player friendly and uses the very familiar d20 as a main resolution dice. If you're new to tabletops and roll20, this game will make for a decent introduction to both, and if you're worried you'd need experience to provide valuable feedback for a playtest, then fret not because part of the idea is to make the game appeal to everyone, so seeing how newcomers learn the game will mean as much as any advice a seasoned tabletop veteran could give me. The game itself has an emphasis on self-creation with a huge variety of options designed to overwhelm players with interesting and balanced choices with no "trap" picks or "must have" abilities. It's inspired by a time when I was neck deep in D&D 3.0 and 3.5 splatbooks and wandered what kind of logistical nightmare it would be to run a game that used all of them, but I really wanted to do it anyway. Atlas is something like that with the "logistical nightmare" part worked out. Atlas is (at the time of posting) transitioning into the second Alpha phase which is adding new races, racial traits, and some rules polishing. The idea is to add a little bit every few weeks so everyone has time to try new things and everything can get tested thoroughly. Campaign wise we've only had our second session leading into the party joining a much larger organization (an in-game means of allowing the players access to a free armory to try and test new weapons and armor quickly.) Their introduction to the world is just starting and it's the perfect time for someone new to join in.
Hi there. Sounds interesting would you mind sending me some more info, like usual time slot and session lenght. thanks in advance.
I would be interested as well, though I would need to know the time slot. I use to play quite a bit of D&D 3.5 and always hated the Logistical nightmare, especially since I wasn't a very good power gamer while in a group of power gamers who had mastered that nightmare into a weapon of dice pools and munchkin. 
Sorry I forgot to include the time and day and stuff. Saturdays at 8:30 EST is when we start. "Usually" end by or around midnight. I say "usually" but we're only going into our third session, so it's hard to draw a pattern from it.
