[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 2197463, member: 990"] Depends on the game. In the last campaign I ran, I had 7 players and we only managed to play once a month. Actually the campaign ended sooner than any of us would have liked because of the difficulty of getting that many people together regularly. Sessions were 4 to 6 hours long. (Combat with a large group takes forever.) In my current campaign, I've got 4 players. We've made a committment to play at least once a month, but it usually comes out to three times in every two month period. If we can't all make it, we don't play. Our sessions usually last 4 hours. I'm playing in two games. One of them meets every other week and has 9 players. We've played with as few as 2 players and the DM, with the absent PCs becoming NPCs. The other game also has 9 players, one of whom lives 2 hours away. We play the second Sunday of every month at noon for about 5 hours. We play as long as 6 people can make it, but given the schedule we've set up, it's surprisingly easy to get everyone together. I wish I had thought of it when I was DMing for the large group. Then again, DMing for a party of 4 is *much* easier. [/QUOTE]
