I have probably got one problem coming though, if all the players show up I will have 8 of them. Since I believe the campaign is really good, I will probably have 6-8 players every session. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I have run previous campaigns with up to 7 players, to get combat sorted, I changed one mob into a special elite for every player over 5. Special elite template:+2 attack, +50% damage, 2x normal hp, one free power rechargeI believe this should take care of the combat balance relatively ok, but any other suggestions are welcome.Regarding how long combat is going to take, I will try to announce who's character who is now and what character comes next. In addition I will just skip along if a player hasn't decided what to do when I call their character name. (Except if they ask relevant questions). A player skipped in this way can announce his action at any time later without lousing his original initiative. Out of combat I don't really know what problems I will run into, since the last campaign was a pure hack-n-slash game. Any ideas, experiences etc would be welcome.Got a girlfriend moderately interested in rpg as well, but I am a bit unsure of how to include her into this. She doesn't really know any of the people she will be playing with, and I will be sitting at the other end of the table if she does join. Annoying, it would be great getting her into the game I love. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />My last proper campaign was Red Hand of Doom which we had a blast playing, but there is 10x more social encounters in WotBS, so I think it will be quite different. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/ponder.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hmm:" title="Hmmm    :hmm:" data-shortname=":hmm:" />Thanks in advance for any input!</blockquote>
