Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragonblade" data-source="post: 4145213" data-attributes="member: 2804">I game with a large group that includes 10 active players/DMs. However, we don't all play in the same game.We have 3 different campaigns going on right now. Two games that alternate every other Friday night and a Thursday game that we play every other week. Each campaign has a different DM and a different set of players pulled from the pool of 10. The biggest game is the AoW game which has 7 players. Its a big group but we manage alright. Our DM is very good. Usually he recruits one of the players to help him keep track of initiative, buffs, and monster HPs whenever we have a big fight. It makes things easier for him.The downside is there tends to be a LOT of OOC chit-chat while people wait their turn. This just gets worse whenever anyone fails a save or lose roll and you basically can't do anything. We are hoping 4e will fix all that.All three of the existing campaigns will run to their conclusion, and then once 4e comes out probably two or three new 4e games will take their place. One grognard player intends to drop out of our group completely because he hates the idea of 4e and refuses to play even though the group offered to pitch in and buy him a copy of the 4e books. He thinks its cool that Paizo is releasing Pathfinder, but has no interest in buying it. He is satisfied with his 3.5 books, says he is set for life, and doesn't intend to spend any more money on D&D or D&D clones.Everyone else is eagerly looking forward to 4e at this point and we all have the books pre-ordered.We also recruited a "new" player/DM (who used to be an oldschool 1e/2e DM, but despised 3e and quit D&D when 3e came out). He is very excited about 4e and based on the previews he says it reminds him of running 1e games but with better rules.So we'll still be at 10 players even after 3e games stop.</blockquote>
