Do You Prefer 4 Or More Players (+ DM) When RPGing?

[Nathan P. Mahney]

3 or 4 is about what I like, though I can handle anything up to about 8 if I have to. I had no problems at all with high numbers of players in the older editions, but I struggle to run that many in 3rd. There's a lot more to keep track of.

4-5 players is my sweet spot. That way I have enough players where they can (inadvertantly) drive the story and I can still give them individual attention. 3 is my minimum as I feel really drained after running a game with do few players. More than 7 and people just get sidelined until a fight, and then fights take forever.

 

[Starglim]

No, but I would prefer not to go below 3 players + DM.

 

[genshou]

One, two, or six. I can't stand any other number, for whatever reasons.

 

[Gundark]

I answered yes ... however, I prefer exactly (4) players and (1) DM.

yeah this is me...the poll question was weird

 

[Aus_Snow]

I don't mind either way. Generally, it's going to *be* 4 or more, but sometimes not.

 

[Jdvn1]

I think 4-5 is the 'sweet spot'.

I noticed by your sig that your name is Frank Brunner. Are you the illustrator Frank Brunner by chance?

Nope, I'm the writer Frank Brunner (Incarnum, Eberron Explorer's Handbook, PHB II, etc.).

But I do like Dr. Strange and the other Frank's art.

Ah cool. Every time I've seen your name I've wondered...

So, rather than provide a few numerical ranges, the pollmaker decided for a binary "yes or no" format with four being the cut-off point? Mmm-kay. Expect a lot of yesses (duh).
