What, I hear you ask, is an “Incrementalist” in this context?

An Incrementalist is someone who has lived an indefinite time; one of them has been around for over two thousand years.  Some have only been around for a single lifetime.  Most are somewhere in between.

An Incrementalist is someone who has access to memories going back 30,000 years.

An Incrementalist is someone skilled at manipulating others through suggestion, and stimulating the production of neuro-chemicals within another’s brain.

An Incrementalist is someone dedicated to making the world a little better.

The project is a setting for either science fiction, or secret history; especially secret history.  Any time you can think of an historical event that might have been a little worse, or might not have been as good as it actually was, an Incrementalist might have been involved.  Personally, I’m of the opinion that the Incrementalists had something to do with the passing of the Gay marriage act in New York, and the recent investigation of Rupurt Murdoch.  I could be wrong.

It is also the setting for Spiked; a novel I’ve written with Skyler White, that will be out from Tor in the summer of 2013.

Politically, Incrementalists cover the entire spectrum from the Left to the Far Left.

There are, in total, around 200.  The five oldest enduring personalities make up Salt; an informal group that guides the discussions (well, arguments) but has no actual power.

If you want to play, you need to go to The Salt Board and register; then read through the introductory material.  That will tell you how to start playing.  You can also ask questions there, once you’re registered.  If you have problems with registration, feel free to ask here.
