[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4316922, member: 11821"] Through some chance of fate, I have 7 players now instead of my normal 5-6. Last night, preparing for our first non-demo 4e session next week, I went through the Keep on the Shadowfell encounters and made little notes to myself about what to do with 6 or 7 players at the session. All in all, it took me about a half hour for somewhere around 20 decent-sized encounters. That's insane. Not only were there good, solid guidelines on how to handle bigger or smaller groups, but it went quickly, too. In some cases, I leveled up a solo creature. This took even less time; I just made notes that they get +1's to a few things and 32 or 40 more hps (them being solo, and considering the x4 HP multiplier). I will have to see how they balance out in play, but really - it was dead simple. I look forward to making my own adventures, because really - this will ease my DMing burden quite a bit. :) -O [/QUOTE]
