Here's why:1) The game doesn't come to a screeching halt when one player has to bail. If someone has a late night at work or whatever, we can game on without being too disruptive. One player short in a four-player group could spell disaster- far less so in a six-player group.2) The party has a good mix of abilities, even if you have two players that absolutely must play fighters, wizards, or whatever. With all the basics covered (and there's usually several players that want a basic build), a few of the players can try a 'fringe' class such as a paladin, bard, or monk.3) The game seems more relaxed and the players seem more confident in the group's ability to take on challenges. There's still a sense of danger and tension, but a single character death doesn't derail the game.</blockquote>
