How many players/characters in your campaign

[Orco42]

I play in a gruop with 4 players, and DM a group of 9 (at one time it was 12 but one was arrested and the other 2 moved).

1 DM (me)
1 Player (my sister)

I usually play 4-5 NPCs on the side, which I think I can handle fairly well...

1 Player is the way to go!!

We have five players in our group, each with only 1 character, and we have no NPC's/cohorts. However, over half the time someone doesn't show up. Unfortunately, its usually the cleric.
We're thinking about adding a sixth though. At least least we would if someone would ever bother to get a hold of the guy...
