[QUOTE="Shadow64, post: 3765816, member: 6868"] I recently took up the DM Helm recently in order to jump start a gaming group (everyone wanted to play, no one really, really wanted to DM), and it grew rapidly through word of mouth and johnny-come-latelys to be a whopping 9 member group (including me)!! Thanfully, for all of us being strangers, we get along really well and so far the group is working out fantastically. Probably one of the best groups I've been a part of in a long time. I just finished up my first adventure with them and while they had a great time I don't think I challenged them enough. I undershot a lot of the encounters, which meant they swept through them, and then overshot the main "boss" of the adventure. Thankfully, they actually did enough damage to the boss to make it want to escape (which it did, and it will be coming back later!). And combat - good lord - the combat took f.o.r.e.v.e.r...... So - what are the tricks to running a large group? [/QUOTE]
