Downsizing my group

[IronWolf]

I would be fine with running for two players if that was the option I had. I've run for my current gaming group when there were only two players due to the other two not making it on a couple of occasions. It works well enough.

I've also run two players for when I DM for the IronPups. We usually outfit them with some animal companions if need be just to help out a bit.

I generally avoid having a player run two characters at once as it just doesn't seem to work long term in my opinion. Seems that neither character ends up getting the development it normally would.

Downsizing hitting everyone these days - man, times are tough

I find the level of experience of the players to be the driving factor; four to five okay players, six for a very good group, 3 for starters. What factors in this is, willness to play and knowledge.

Thanks folks. I think I'm going to go with a combination of animal companions, shared PCs, and NPC minions/droids.
