[QUOTE="payn, post: 8387230, member: 90374"] I like 5 players myself because if one cant make it, we can still play. Thats for D&D/PF traditional fantasy games. Though, I dont like going higher than 5 in any game because its hard to move the spotlight effectively and not have multiple characters essentially good at the same things. Just too much toe stepping in large groups. I dont think there are too few games capable of groups of 2-3. They just dont enjoy the popularity of traditional fantasy games. My experience is when you get away from D&D combat focused games, having a team of roles covered becomes less of an issue. Either the story only requires two PCs, or its very easy for two players to run multiple PCs. I think it is very important for a rulebook to at least give a paragraph to instruction on what to expect at various group sizes and what is optimal with the system. I've seen both well covered rulebooks in this regard, and those that dont mention it at all. /shrug [/QUOTE]
