[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 5214457, member: 54629"] I've got 5 players at the moment, and so far we've almost always had one missing, so we've generally only actually had 4 players. That's the why I like it, too. We've had as many as 8 players in the past and it just gets too crazy. We've got 6 in our D&D game (which I'm not running), and that [I]is[/I] a bit much. Good idea. This one shouldn't be an issue. I'm running the [I]Star Wars: Dawn of Defiance[/I] series of adventures, which does a fairly good job of not only presenting a variety of plot hooks but also runs the gamut of the various playstyles possible (it was designed to show what all you can do with the SWSE rules). Again, not a problem here. I don't bother with XP and I've been trying to disabuse my players of the notion that Star Wars is a "kill the bad guys and take their stuff" kind of game like D&D is. So instead I'm trying to make things more personal and give them loftier goals (DoD isn't about saving the galaxy; it's more about paving the way for the Rebellion). This is good too. I had a great idea for a D&D campaign in which the players find an evil artifact that attaches itself to them, so they can't get rid of it without undertaking some sort of quest, but they don't necessarily realize it's evil right away ... but everywhere they go, bad stuff happens to other people.
