Message: <blockquote data-quote="Agamon" data-source="post: 316381" data-attributes="member: 184">I started a new group with 2 players about 3 years ago.  Both were the two guys that made up my fledgling gaming group almost 20 years ago when I started RPing, so they were both experienced, but I still added an NPC to help round out the group, and to connect the 2 PCs (best friends with one, worked with the other).My "group" has since blossomed out into 2 groups of 4 players each.  Both are not only in the same campaign, but are really both in one "party", as members sometimes hop over to the other group, and soon I can see us playing as one big group once in a while.Hmmm, more info than you needed, probably, but just goes to show you that what starts out small can grow big, especially if you really care about the campaign; it'll make it more fun for both you and the players.And let me say, an open-ended game where the PCs can do what they want is the way to go.  Some players are uncomfortable dictating the course of action, but you can give them a few nudges here and there, maybe have a background plot that isn't restictive, but happens around the party and gives them something to respond to, as well as giving the campaign a more epic air.</blockquote>
