[QUOTE="HooliTheBird, post: 9762757, member: 7054060"] Goodness! You get the award for longest reply, ha! You’re telling me, though. Eight players was insane of me. I really appreciate you breaking down the kind of focus you can have with different numbers of players. My hope would be to have two groups of four that, on particularly special sessions, could come together as one group so that everyone can still experience playing together. But on typical sessions, I’d like to have smaller groups so I can be more intentional about the time I spend with my players. I think D&D is a really powerful medium that has the ability to greatly impact people and bring them closer together, and I’d love for that to be the case with my group. It’s why I feel so determined and committed to keeping this thing going at all, to give my friends that outlet, and a means to bond with each other. It’s very important to me, even if the work is hard. And I’m very proud to say that I have the most awesome and supportive group of players. I will refrain from getting into all I could about how much they mean to me and how D&D is the reason we’ve all been able to stick together, so as not to ramble (which I am already fully doing), but I do it all for them. I’m glad to know that my struggles are a sign of things flowing in the right direction. I really appreciate the realness and honesty in your words. I shall always strive to be the kind of DM that would be a blast to play under. Much of what I do is based on what I’ve observed from my boyfriend when he would DM for us. He’s the most fun to play under, and I’d love to be the very same, with my own twists, of course. It is so kind of you to offer your help, and I would love nothing more than to bounce ideas off you! I am hurting for creatives to brainstorm with right now, as all of my writing friends are playing under me. But it would be so awesome to get some story opinions and ideas! [/QUOTE]
