Player's naturally get into the idea of planning  heists, robbery  and other such nefarious activity alarmingly easily. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> My 2E game like this has at its peak 12 players for a few sessions which was far too many. A normal sized group or a smaller one works better and is amazing/Also a larger group of "all Fighters" makes for a military squad nicely and captures a great reality of real war, often as not you  are fighting to keep your mates alive more than any big picture stuff. When I played this in 2e technically we had a Ranger (no spells) an MU (the only caster) and 6 Human Fighters run by an actual vet. Nowhere near enough sessions for my taste but very coolif you want to go Barry Trotter or the like, a group of Mages  just graduated from school (1st thru 5th everyone the same level) and without work or patrons as they were last in the class could be pretty fun.  A caution though. As always get buy in. We tried "Wooden Ships and Iron Men." where everyone played Midshipmen in the Royal Navy and while I did my best with my limited knowledge , no one had any knowledge or buy in other than me and so the game failed hard. If you want to go --a-sailing try pirates or a gang of vikings or maybe a free trader type ship where the  players have a lot of agency . Players IME don't much enjoy hierarchy and chain of command in their games</blockquote>
