[QUOTE="toucanbuzz, post: 7536430, member: 19270"] 12 in high school, 6 a few times as an adult. Never again with either. There's no way to have meaningful social interaction with 12 people. I thought 6 might work later in life, but negative, and that includes GenCon where they squeeze you in. There's too many times people are doing nothing, waiting for others to do their thing, even with 6, and that sucks. Makes you wonder why I'm here because I'm not actually "playing," instead I'm sitting around playing on my phone waiting for the others to decide what they're going to do or pursuing their plots. Alternatively, an outgoing person might dominate a large group, meaning a handful are roleplaying and the others are again, sitting around, waiting for the outgoing people to do their thing. When my group in an older edition hit 6 reliable players, we had to split. Just too many to get meaningful social roleplay in during a relatively limited time period. [/QUOTE]
