[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 470955, member: 232"] With in the next few weeks I'm going to be starting up a campaign that will have 7 PCs in it. It's been at least 8 years since I ran a group of this size and it's a safe bet that my DMing style has drastically changed. I've DMed for the smaller parties and one of the highlights was to focus on each character in a session. It didn't matter who or what they were I knew I could through in that little something extra just for that character. I'm not so sure I can do that with the 7-person group. Also, I'm worried about making sure there is enough to do. I like a lot of NPC PC interaction, but in conversations it really doesn't seem to make sense for all 7 of them to talk to one PC. Where with 3 PCs that was doable. I don't like to have a few PCs sitting there while the others do the talking, or the work. But I think that is something that is just going to have to happen. So, if you'd all be so kind to give some suggestions about DMing a larger party, I'd very much appreciate it. What has worked for you and what hasn't? Thanks. :) [/QUOTE]
