[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 1707595, member: 1515"] (Nice bell curve, centered on 5 players.) I DM for three separate groups (though my wife is a player in all three). Group #1 -- my old gaming group from my teenage / college years. We're spread out over 2 states now, and so we only get together 4-5 times a year (though two of those gatherings are long weekends, in which we play for 3 or 4 days). That group has varied wildly in size over the past 20 years (been as large as 12 or 13 regular players, as small as 4), but is now pretty stable at 6 players plus the DM (me, about 70% of the time). Group #2 -- our Friday night group, meets about once a month. We've got a cap of 8 players in this group, which is our current size. However, it's rare that we actually have all 8 players at a session, due to RL constraints (one player even flies in from DC to Chicago to play!), and so 6 or 7 is a more typical size for any given session. Group #3 -- our Sunday night group, also meets about once a month. It used to have 6 players, plus the DM, until 3 of the players moved out of Chicago. We're now down to 3, plus me as DM, but it's a great group, so we're keeping it going. And, the chemistry is so good with this small group, even though we talk about adding another player, we all agree it'd need to be the right player. [/QUOTE]
