[QUOTE="Terwox, post: 2770415, member: 1044"] With a group that size, if you're having trouble with more time being spent socializing than playing the game, consider a "feed the pig 25 cents for every out of character comment." This works for some groups. I don't think it would work for groups I'm in... although, my groups tend to be more about socializing than playing a lot of the time. We've only tried a few games with 6 or more players... and they simply never begin because we're all yakking until people start having to go home. An assistant DM might be a good call, especially if you're using a published adventure. If you trust them enough with your ideas, you could even run the two groups splitting up at the same time (if your groups would ever do that...) But yeah. I have trouble once I hit four players, myself. But it might help if you setup a thing where -- ok, we eat, we smoke, then we stop yakking and game. Unless you want to primarily yak. In which case... yak! :) [/QUOTE]
