Alright, I've been playing home games of DnD for a fews years, but thats about it. Until one of my friends clues me into Living Greyhawk a few days ago, says he's running a game. I look into it online' I'm enthralled. The idea is so cool. We start setting things up for the adventure he's running.
Now comes the "fun" part. There's 10 players that want in. So the DM decides to do things randomly. He assigns us all numbers, rolls dice using an online service, and gets 6 of us chosen.
Then the 'whiny' part. One of the players doesn't like that not everyone can play. In fact, unless we give in and let everyone play that wants to, he'll leave. Problem is, he's friends with a good bunch of the group, so this causes a big problem with them. Damn the fact that a sanctioned living Greyhawk game has a maximum of 6 players.
Okay, so this guy is new to the game and might not realize that games with 10 players get really boring as the DM has little time for you, and adventures get really hard to balance appropriately.
Or am I wrong and we should be complaining to the living Greyhawk team to up the party limit?
