[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5259857, member: 82425"] I remember back in the 2nd ed days I ran a campaign with two players. We had a 7 man group and I invited two of them (the two most dedicated) to do a campaign on the side as a sort of experiment, as I was theorizing that we were getting bogged down. That campaign is still lauded to this day by the three of us as the best campaign ever! It was just awesome. As a DM there was less to track, for players, far less downtime. Challenges were just more challenging because you didnt always have someone with the right skills. Overall, there was just a greater feeling that the guys playing were the heroes. We didnt run it for long, it was just an experiment and it did alienate the other players a bit, but what a success we had. Let there be no doubt : small parties can be great fun. So as an alternative, have you thought about scaling the adventures to a smaller party size? [/QUOTE]
