[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9849255, member: 29398"] Last time I changed over campaigns the previous one finished with 10 players (in two groups run on different nights). The new one, considerably and intentionally pared down, started with 4 players, 2 of whom were brand new to our crew. As the game went on we took in more players, while some left (and then returned); there's been 14 in total over the years with a high point of 8 at once (again in two groups on different nights). Right now it's back down to 4, only one of whom was in the original 4; and he was out for something like 8 years before returning in 2024. A good analogy here would be the turnover of members in a long-running band such as Yes or Deep Purple. I kinda take it as a given that most DMs (if not running completely stock e.g. AL play) are in large part developing and running a game or style that, if someone else ran it, they'd like to play in. This to me isn't controversial in the slightest. Easily solved by having people bring their own snacks if they so desire. [/QUOTE]
