[QUOTE="Eman Resu, post: 5438827, member: 100340"] 9 players = slow gameing and chaos, but can be fun it just needs a Hitlerezsk iron fist of a DMwherer the players live in fear for messing up the flow of the game. Heres 2 trick that will speed things up and help you keep track of which PC is doing what & where... Have a large dry erase board quickly draw up rooms/encounters on board lay it on top of gaming table used as a encounter table top... this helps with decriptions of rooms and the lay of the land, quick maps etc, erase and repeat Have each player grap a different color 10 sided Di, you have everybody roll initiative, the highest initative goes first, so he gets #1, the second highest init gets #2 so on so forth...after all 9 have rolled init have them placed on your dry erase board for "party placement"....just with these two things you now have... lay of the land where everybody is what init they are where the baddies are, whos going to be flanked, who has line of sight to what, whos in the radius of spell X how far does this player have to move to do ? this is simple, fast, excellent game control, and you dont have to be an artist..........In know its great I know....patting myself on back, "here here, good show, herumph herumph herumph........hey I didnt get a herumph outa that guy! (You old guys will get this movie quote Im sure!) [/QUOTE]
