What is the best number of players at the table, whether as a DM or player yourself?I like to have four players -- nice balance.2.) How often should you be able to game in an ideal world?If I could, once a week would be nice; I am happy to settle on every other week.3.) How long should those sessions be?Hmmm.  Depends on the session.  Could be anything from 3 to 8 hours, depending on the feel of the story is going.4.) The poll handled percentage of Crunch to Flavor, but what are some of the specifics behind your vote?The system is less important than the story and the integration of the group.  I have played many different systems, from Rules Heavy (GURPS, Space Opera) to Rules Lite (Nobilis, Over The Edge) -- I prefer the Lighter end.  Rules often get in the way of a good story and my players prefer interaction to dice rolling.5.) If you could choose the single best next book to become available to you, what would it be, what form would it be in (hardback, softback, PDF), and how much would that book cost (please be reasonable)?I prefer hardbound, at about $30.  I think that is eminently reasonable, given the cost of hardbound art books and the like.  As for what it would be, well, that depends by system.  For Ars Magica, I would like a fat Tribunal book for one of the Core Tribunals.  For D&D, a historical setting  campaign book (along the lines of A Mighty Fortress or Paladins of Charlemagne).  For GURPS, don't really care -- if it's interesting, I'll pick it up, but I can never tell in advance.  For WoD?  Nothing.  I am bored with their entire line, though their mechanics are sound enough.  For Deciper Star Trek -- anything as long as it is FINALLY well edited and much, much longer than they have put out to date -- the system is decent, but the books are overpriced and massively user unfriendly.Hmmm, many possibilities here.</blockquote>
