[QUOTE="UD, post: 18128, member: 316"] I DM to large groups (6 and 7). Let me tell you it is [B]hard[/B] work kepping them all in line. Tips: Have regular 10 minute breaks (don't break up intense or fast action/rp'ing). I recomend once every 1.5-2 hours. Make sure you split your attention around everyone equally (some people love being in the limelight, the bigger the group the more this hurts). Don't focus plots or storys on a particular palyer. Don't play in the game shop. When playing at home, sit around a table, close the door, and remove any distractions from the room (music, TV's, computers etc). Never take away xp, give it to those who stay focused and do good rp. Having a 'total rp session' is a good idea, where everything people say is in character. I do this occasionally when people get out of hand. (Villages reacting to a character who wants to 'pass the crisps'. "What are these 'crisps'?", "Out of my town, oh worshiper of Cyric, etc..." etc... [/QUOTE]
