[QUOTE="Wild Gazebo, post: 2169122, member: 24413"] I co-DMed a Star Wars group that was in the mid-twenties...um and there were about twenty of them...yeah. I say about 24-7 people. It was pretty fun...if a bit challenging. I've also gamed groups that fluxed between 12 and 8. I prefer 5. If a lot of the people are good friends it is very easy to get distracted. And god forbid they decide to make committee decisions...GROAN. Nothing more annoying that 12 people with 12 different views arguing in the midst of a planned adventure. The real pitfall is shy or quiet people. One or two people can easily get lost in a large group of people. That and getting everybody to show up. The last large group I had would at least have two missing people...I would count on it...it was almost annoying when everybody showed up--only happened twice in two years. It takes a certain amount of order or presence to deal with a lot of PCs and it can be draining. But good luck with it. I know I've had fun with it...but as I said, now that I'm older, I prefer 5 people...not counting me. [/QUOTE]
