This is the main reason me and my friends meets since we are 15 years old. We had 6 or 7 members at first but the more time went on, the more we lost players. Now we are 4 total including a new member since about 3 years.And I can tell you this with most confidence, 4 players, 1 DM and 3 PCs is really the best situation you could hope for. You have the opportunity to tailor adventures around some of the player's character with a good rotation time between characters. You can give the attention to all the players in a session, thus each players could easilly hope for 2 hours of DM attention at worst in each session.This is one of the greatest opportunity for character development. If your campaing setting is well developped and establishes, the players could easilly start their own plans and have the DM prepare in advance according to what the player wishes to do, with added surprises and side adventures on the part of the DM. Since you have less players, it gives more latitude for the DM to introduce NPCs in the group and, thus, give the players more opportunities to interact with them....Anyway, I could go on for some time, but seriously, convince your friends to try it out at 4 players, I am sure that you all enjoy the experience.</blockquote>
